UK Real Estate: The Ultimate Defensive Investment

26 November, 2020

We held a seminar entitled 'UK Real Estate - the ultimate defensive investment?' on Wednesday 25 November.

The seminar was sponsored by Corporate Member VG and NBK International and included a presentation from Knight Frank.

The panellists were:

Liam Bailey, Global Head of Research, Knight Frank who will address market trends in London and UK regions, and will cast a comparative look at Dubai and New York.
Bassam Khazen, Manager, Commercial Real Estate, National Bank of Kuwait International, who will examine bank responses to the crisis and to evolving client needs.
Trevor Norman, Director, Islamic Finance and Funds, VG Jersey, who will inform us on what he is seeing from clients in the Middle East and give his views on evolving legal structures and tax considerations.

We hope to post presentations from the event here soon.
