Institutional property investors in Finland show a significant preference for the domestic market in their real estate investments, according to INREV’s Investor Universe Finland Survey 2011.
Around 80% of Finland’s total real estate exposure is in domestic direct core investments. Only 12% of all Finnish real estate investments are made abroad, it shows.
Lonneke Löwik, INREV’s director of research and market information said: "Finnish real estate has proven to be relatively stable during the financial crisis. It is hardly surprising that many investors see no need to go outside their country. Finnish investors have a clear, low risk strategy focused on a familiar market with control over their investments".
