Berlin-based Catella Residential Investment Management GmbH (CRIM) achieved an overall performance of 11.3% in 2019 for its specialist-focused  European Student Housing Fund (CESHF), an open-ended investment vehicle  for institutional investors. The strong investment returns last year were generated through an active portfolio management strategy.

Climbing a wall of worry is an old saying on Wall Street that describes how a strong stock market can handle or even be spurred on by bad news. This describes 2019 very well. The end of 2018 struck a dull note as stock exchanges fell steeply right up until Christmas, and the market worried about a slowdown in the global economy on the back of a trade war and rising interest rates. However, thanks to a U-turn by the Federal Reserve in a very final days of 2018, a striking reversal of the trend set the scene for a fantastic year for stock markets.

Catella acted as Nordika’s advisor in the acquisition of a landmark office property in the Helsinki inner city.
