5) Were born
with this Dutch specialist in commercial real estateWe are betting on the very low valuation of this sector in Europe. The sector has gone through crises over the past five years, but the group now looks better prepared for the future. We do not see significant pressure on current rents, on the contrary, the sector benefits from the rental index. However, the rise in refinancing rates should be felt. Wereldhave’s stake is trading at less than 8 times the current expected 2022 earnings and the total dividend yield is 10%.
