"The idea for the book came initially from my research notes/ internal blog ... [which] deals mainly with the changing nature of investment strategy of major global funds, the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the impact of Brexit, the global position of London, the increasingly political nature of global capital flows into the sector and the industry's default position which is one of delusion and a hope against hope for soft landings...These issues are set against a background of just how the real estate capital market has evolved ... from a local and rather dozy industry to one of increasing sophistication. However, the underlying argument is that this apparent shift is superficial despite the hope that, somehow, bankers have learnt from the lessons of the past, that rating agencies and regulators do more than tick boxes, or investors cease their natural tendency to stray from the world they know best."Joe Valente, June 2018All profits from this book will be donated to Bloodwise.
