Course Overview

Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of real estate portfolios and funds. In finance the difference between a healthy position on portfolios and funds and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Every module pairs a short input on the wider financial and banking practice agenda with structured practice on the participant's own material. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on real estate portfolios and funds are used deliberately. Moving the financial and banking practice capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. They acquire practical criteria for judging when portfolios and funds is working and when it is only appearing to. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in real estate portfolios and funds that were visible long before the incident. Participants leave with a method for portfolios and funds, not a set of opinions about it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within financial and banking practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
