Catella Group

Investor interest in the property sector remained keen due to the low interest rate situation, opportunities for diversification and good returns at relatively low risk. Firms like Catella could advance their positioning in the sector by developing and launching new products and investment opportunities. Following the negative close to the stock market year in 2018, investor confidence in the market turned upwards in 2019, especially in the second half of the year. Many active managers had a challenging year with continued reallocation from traditional active products towards more passively managed products.
