The work aims to qualify the perspective of a private capital investor and their ideas for future real estate investments. The subject area is the future development and evaluation of indirect real estate investments, with a particular focus on open-ended real estate funds. New trends, strategies, and recommendations for future real estate investments from the viewpoint of private capital investors will continuously form the core of the work. Since many professional publications present both negative and positive opinions regarding the financial crisis, the question arises to what extent indirect real estate investments—especially open-ended real estate funds, meaning the investors in these—were affected by it. In presenting fact-based results and conclusions, the author strives to choose a didactic and methodological expression that is understandable to a broad range of potential investors from various educational backgrounds.
