Following the successful launch of the inaugural Executive Programme for listed real estate practitioners in June last year in cooperation with INSEAD, EPRA partnered with Bayes Business School for a new online education programme.
The online programme, which was completed recently following a six-week module, was delivered by leading academics from the Bayes Business School (formerly the Cass Business School) as well as industry experts. Designed for property and finance professionals working for listed real estate firms, real estate private equity teams and equity/multi-asset/property analysts/fund managers, the programme’s goal was to enhance participants’ knowledge of real estate as an asset class.
The course provided a thorough understanding of the factors driving the valuations of the listed real estate sector, the direct property market and the stock market, explained the reasons behind any disconnect between public and private markets and explored the specific investment characteristics of listed real estate versus other equities from an asset allocation perspective.
