The new Economic Development Act has met with broad approval among institutional investors and asset managers and is already influencing concrete investment decisions. This is shown by a recent flash survey by INTREAL and Wüest Partner among 38 market participants.
68 percent of those surveyed rate the Economic Development Act positively and see it as a supportive framework and important source of inspiration for future investments. Around a third have already adapted their own investment strategy to the new law. A further 26 percent are considering entering new asset classes, and 24 percent want to expand their existing fund strategies.
"More than a fifth of the asset managers and investors surveyed are already planning to launch new funds, and a further 16 percent are in the decision-making phase," says Andreas Ertle, Managing Director of INTREAL. "We set the strategic course at an early stage and consistently aligned our structures, processes and systems for further growth in the infrastructure sector. The law now creates the necessary regulatory clarity and provides additional tailwind for implementation."
