Germany
Open-end real estate funds in Germany are facing challenges, with negative returns and some funds suspending share redemption. Investors might incur significant discounts when selling, and real estate values are typically assessed quarterly. Many funds are inappropriately sold as low risk.
The claims regarding German open-end real estate funds are complex and varied. For most claims, there is a degree of evidence from market trends and general financial principles to back them. The reported negative returns and temporary suspension of share redemptions indicate recent market challenges affecting investors. The mention of 30% discounts and quarterly assessments aligns with standard financial practices, though direct evidence was limited. Claims of low-risk sales practices seem misleading given the market conditions.

Investors may face discounts exceeding 30 percent when selling on the stock exchange.
While the mechanism of discounts is explained, there's no direct evidence specifically regarding recent 30% discounts in German markets. Therefore, the claim is plausible in theory but lacks specific evidence support.

Real estate values are usually assessed by experts once a quarter.
Quarterly assessments are a common practice in real estate markets, yet the evidence provided mainly refers to specific locations like New York, lacking direct confirmation for Germany.

Many open-end real estate funds are sold as low-risk as government bonds.
The claims of low risk need careful consideration because real estate funds generally carry more risk than government bonds. The available evidence indicates that such claims are misleading without direct corroboration from reliable financial assessments.
