The outcome of the Brexit negotiations will have important strategic implications for indirect real estate institutional investors. In addition, investors may need to re-assess their strategies in light of the result of the US Presidential and  Congressional elections on 3 November. Our speakers will provide their insight on these highly topical issues: issues which may well influence UK and global real estate markets for many years.

You are invited to register for our webinar, and encouraged to register soon as webinar places are limited. This event is run in association with the Real Estate Investors' Forum (REIF) and PropertyMatch. The webinar is open to AREF Investor members only.
