High-level panel
Brad Olsen – whose experience bridges the investment worlds of both North America and the Netherlands – will lead a high-level panel discussion where US and Canadian investors share their ideas with a top Dutch real estate investment team. Are there differences in their approach? Do they see the best investment opportunities in the Netherlands/Europe or in the US and Canada? And in which sector? Should it be listed or non-listed? What do they think about US REITs compared to Dutch or European REITs? What makes them different? Or has the focus turned to new investment opportunities in Asia, the Middle East, Russia or Turkey? Is there really a different approach as seen from a US and Canadian perspective compared to the Dutch vision on the new investment world?
