Vistra's European Funds Team had a fantastic time at this year’s EXPO REAL (Messe München) in Munich. Leaving the event with renewed optimism and a wealth of insights, here are some of our key takeaways: • Logistics continue to be a crucial factor in real estate. • Decarbonisation may have slipped into the background, but it remains a key concern, especially as a cost driver, with ongoing efforts to find solutions. • The shortage of skilled labour, particularly in Germany, poses a major challenge. • The issue of private debt is very present and is also considered to be of great importance in the short term. It was great to meet with so many of our clients and make new connections. Joost Knabben, Peyman Azari, and Arash Banisadr look forward to continuing the conversations on how we can support clients with our tailored real estate fund administration solutions. A big thank you to the organisers for such a well-run event. We’re excited to apply what we’ve learned and strengthen partnerships moving forward. #EXPOREAL2024 #RealEstate #Innovation #FundSolutions
