The Advanced Tax Seminar 2021 took place on 2 November in London. This half-day event zoomed in on current tax developments, how they impact fund structuring and changing national rules that challenge tax planning.

Jennifer Burton, Managing Associate in Addleshaw Goddard's Global Investigations team in London provided an update on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorist Financing (ATF) requirements for real estate investments.

Matt Evans, Partner at DLA Piper and John Went, General Counsel at CBRE Global Investment Partners, present on the current Commission review of procedural rules for obtaining clearance and the opportunity it presents for some relief.

The latest Fund Manager Survey results reveal market growth with a focus on non-listed real estate funds and healthy levels of dry powder. But, will the Q1 2021 Market Insights reaffirm these findings? Has European real estate sustained renewed investor confidence and maintains its path to ‘normalisation’ that we saw towards the end of 2020? Is large dispersion in sector performance here to stay? What is Q1 2021 investor sentiment telling us?

Sam Giet, Vice President, Portfolio Management, BlackRock and Edgar Orlovskis, Research and Analytics Manager, INREV share highlights from the latest Q1 2021 INREV Fund Index results, giving insights into fund level performance and to what extent the upturn in sentiment reported at the end of 2020 has continued into Q1 2021. 

The seminar focuses on the benefits of digital transactions, tokenisation in action – how to develop and implement this process with a real life case study as well as how we can realise tokenisation in non-listed real estate investments.

Vanessa Muscarà, Head of Research & Strategy at Europa Capital, Charles Conrath, Head of Strategy & Analytics at QuadReal Property Group and Connor van Leeuwen, Research and Analytics Analyst at INREV discuss the recent capital raising trends into non-listed real estate vehicles by region, investment strategy, style and structure.
