All investment opportunities are studied by a team of financial and strategic analysts.

Our financial analysts make a crucial contribution to our approach to identified opportunities, using the latest information on the European economy, and on the Portuguese economy in particular, as well as on the real estate market and market trends. Development of financial analysis models is complemented by regular visits to the main markets, with constant communication with the leading operators in the real estate market and drawing on experience gained in previous transactions.

Investment analysis is also fundamental in developing refundos’ existing and future Funds, and in creating new investment ideas and adopting price strategies compatible with the European real estate market.

The research team is engaged primarily in collecting and processing statistical data relating to activity in the property market. This involves:

• Processing the information obtained so that it can be used by other departments;
• Statistical analyses and setting parameters to guide investment decisions;
• Analysis and assessment of investment projects;
• Assessment of effective returns on investments and comparison with benchmarks;
• Providing research support for the constitution of new real estate funds;
