Invest in real property and forest

Forests grow and housing units and real estate accrue rental returns also when stock markets are in turmoil. This is why the real property asset class has traditionally been one of professional investors’ investment portfolio’s cornerstones. For retail investors and savers, on the other hand, it has been difficult to access this asset class.

Using mutual funds, anybody can diversify their savings versatilely outside traditional equity and fixed-income investment. Investing in mutual funds is convenient and it requires no previous investment experience from the investor. Funds investing in real property and forest are suitable for long-term investors seeking steady cash flow and versatile diversification.

The story behind OP Public Services Real Estate is based on the provision of services vital to society and needed by Finnish citizens in the course of their lives. The fund spreads its investments widely across real estate utilised in education, social services, physical culture, sports and healthcare services provided by society. Such real estate can host, for example, nursing homes, day-care centres, schools, multipurpose arenas or aided living residences.
