The
module
As investment strategies become increasingly global, this module
provides a framework for property professionals, who have experience
of their domestic market, to develop an appreciation of how to
develop an international property investment strategy as well
as understand the associated risks and rewards. It will provide
an understanding of the contextual differences between key international
real estate markets; give an overview of current trends and themes
in international markets; and provide an insight into performance
measurement issues relevant to international investment.
Who
The module is designed to help qualified professionals working
in the international markets, from both the UK and Europe, to
build the expertise to develop an international property investment
strategy. For fund managers, it will provide an introductory toolkit
on international investment strategies. For professional advisors,
it will give an invaluable and practical insight into a client’s
investment motivations. All participants will be expected to be
familiar with their ‘home’ market and have knowledge
of portfolio management.
How
Following the successful format of the IPF’s Investment Education
Programme, this three-day module combines distance and group study
supported by on-line resources. The aim is to provide participants with
an understanding of how the core skills in property investment can be
applied in an international context. Case studies of major markets will
be used to compare and contrast domestic and international property
investment processes and practices and provide an important practical
context. A supporting user friendly module handbook will be circulated
prior to the start of the module giving participants the opportunity to
become familiar with concepts in advance of the course. In addition,
on-line resources will also be available throughout the course.
Workshops will be included to act as an interface between theory and
practice and ensure participants can apply their new skills in their
working environment.
