Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och jämföra vad imageinvesteringar kan innebära för allmännyttiga fastighetsbolag utifrån ledningens perspektiv. Vidare vill vi undersöka vilka imageinvesteringar som genomförs och hur de motiveras. Metod: Uppsatsen utgår från en kvalitativ ansats. Empiri har samlats in genom besöksintervjuer med tre allmännyttiga fastighetsbolag, AB Helsingborgshem, AB Höganäshem och AB Ängelholmshem. Innan intervjuerna genomfördes samlades sekundärdata in i form av relevant litteratur och vetenskapliga artiklar som har legat till grund för den teoretiska referensramen. Utifrån den teoretiska referensramen togs en intervjuguide fram som användes under insamlingen av primärdata. Slutsats: Slutsatser som dras är att imageinvesteringar kan ha olika innebörd för allmännyttiga fastighetsbolag. Till viss del genomförs imageinvesteringar för att leva upp till ägardirektiv genom att ta samhällsansvar men investeringarna genomförs även för att skapa abstrakta värden i form av attraktionskraft för intressenter och på sikt stärka fastighetsbolagets varumärke. / Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe and compare what image investments may mean to public real estate companies from a management perspective. Furthermore we want to investigate what image investments that are carried out and how they are justified. Method: The thesis is based on a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through interviews with three public real estate companies, AB Helsingborgshem, AB Höganäshem and AB Ängelholmshem. Before the interviews secondary data were conducted in form of relevant literature and scientific articles that have been the basis of the theoretical framework. Based on the theoretical framework was an interview guide developed that was used during the collection of primary data. Conclusion: The conclusions drawn are that image investments may have different meaning for public real estate companies. To some extent image investments are implemented to live up to the owner's directive by taking social responsibility but also to create abstract values in terms of attractiveness to stakeholders and ultimately strengthen its brand.

As the stock market is volatile and often short-term, there is a high demand for safe investments outside the stock market and institutional investors like pension funds, insurance companies and asset managers are increasingly searching for low-risk investments that can deliver safe returns.   Alternative investments, like real estate, are a popular way to invest institutional capital. However, debates whether pension savers should have the right to transfer their pension capital without restrictions and discussions about the suitability of institutional investors to own real estate directly has made liquidity a more important aspect when investing institutional capital.   Forecasts and expectations suggest that a large part of Sweden’s public real estate portfolio, such as schools, hospitals and nursing homes, will be sold or produced privately as new builds in the future. Earlier studies have also shown that this type of real estate, with long leases and reliable tenants, is suitable for securitization, that is to say for issuing tradable securities such as bonds based on the cash flows from such assets.   The high demand for institutional capital to find safe and liquid investments and the large future divestment of public properties create opportunities for financial innovation.   This thesis aims to research if there are arbitrage opportunities to exploit due to differences between the real estate market and the capital market in the pricing of public real estate. The thesis will also examine the possibility of setting up a fund structure to profit in practice from these opportunities and study what the business model of such a firm would look like.

To do so, we first look at the concept of public areas, as well as its modality of use by individuals. Once this is done, we’ll turn our attention to private and public airports, as well as the kind of activities that the law allows to be performed in these areas, in order to verify the private or public nature of each one. Finally, under these premises, we identify the legal regime of the assets of privet airports, as well as those located at public airports, but ceded to private individual for their exploration / Pretende-se, por meio deste estudo, investigar o regime jurídico dos bens afetos aos aeródromos públicos e privados, bem como todas as inúmeras espécies de atividades que a Lei federal 7.565/1986, os atos normativos da ANAC e os contratos de concessões dos aeroportos, permitem que coexistam nessas áreas. Para tanto, primeiramente nos debruçamos sobre o conceito de bem público, bem como as suas modalidade de utilização pelos particulares. Feito isso, voltamos as nossas atenções aos aeródromos privados e públicos, bem como às espécies de atividades que a legislação de vigência permite que sejam desempenhadas nessas áreas para, com isso, verificar a natureza privada ou pública de cada uma delas. Por fim, com amparo nestas premissas, identificamos o regime jurídico dos bens dos aeródromos privados, bem como daqueles situado nos aeródromos públicos, porém cedidos aos particulares para sua exploração

Real estate is an attractive asset class in the mixed-asset portfolio due to favorable risk return characteristics and low correlations with other asset classes like stock and bonds. Unlike financial assets, real estate is a physical asset where large lot sizes/indivisibility, heterogeneity, low liquidity and high transaction costs make applying financial models like modern portfolio theory (MPT) challenging. Optimal allocations to real estate found in literature are generally lower than actual allocations by investors and portfolio managers indicating there are aspects of the application of MPT to real estate that are not fully understood. Since management of real estate is costly and requires expert skills, the question on whether to outsource property management functions is of paramount interest for the real estate industry. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the literature on strategic decisions for real estate investors on allocation and management, Apart from reviewing literature relevant for strategic decisions at different levels and using a top-down approach to illustrate how selected allocation and management decisions are connected, four separate empirical studies are made to investigate the nature of selected strategic decisions for real estate investors. / <p>QC 20170515</p>

With accumulation of sovereign debt in many large OECD countries it seems that attention is heightened on how to manage public resources more effectively. High levels of sovereign debt are partly related to the aftermath of the latest financial crisis, where resolution for many big economies was to intervene and use public resources to put an end to the expansion of the crisis. Public real estate is one of those resources, which’s efficient management has high importance on general public sector efficacy. It seems that governments around the world have a way to go toward efficiency in public real estate management. There seem to be rather wide differences in management practices and quality. This thesis is an attempt to quantify some choices Estonian government could take in terms of its public real estate management. Four different scenarios are compared and Monte Carlo Simulation tool is used for that purpose. Two of the scenarios are related to private sector involvement and two are not. Privatization of public assets does not only mean cashing out for the government. It has wider consequences by introducing market forces where they weren’t before. One of the most important points of interest in this thesis is what effect can market forces and change in incentives have on public real estate management. There can be both, positive and negative effects, but which ones would prevail? The model built during the process of the thesis tries to measure those effects with aggregate net present value and its volatility by looking at 30 years ahead. Simulation analyses is used to vary input variables in the range that seems to be supported by the observations made in the literature and in some cases, where data is not available, also according to more subjective view that of the author’s. As input and their characteristics are different for scenarios, it is of interest to document how do the main outputs, mean NPV and its volatility, vary along with inputs.

Avkastningen från privata och publika fastighetsinvesteringar är något som undersökts extensivt, med slutsatsen att noterade fastighetsinvesteringar uppvisat en högre avkastning jämfört med onoterade fastighetsinvesteringar på kort sikt. Denna uppsats avser att analysera historiska direktavkastningar i syfte av att upptäcka eventuella diskrepanser i värdering mellan noterade och onoterade fastighetsinvesteringar. Utöver det, avser denna uppsats att diskutera huruvida det föreligger fördelar med att äga onoterade fastigheter som skulle motivera en högre värdering, trots historiskt lägre totalavkastning. Den underliggande datan är hämtad från MSCI Sweden Annual Property Index och Refinitiv Worldscope Fundamentals-databasen som säkerställts med årsredovisningar för de noterade fastighetsföretagen. Med hjälp av denna data skapades två direktavkastningsserier för perioden mellan 2000 - 2019. Dessa jämfördes sedan med varandra och påvisade diskrepanser i form av högre direktavkastning på den noterade marknaden under större delar av 00-talet medan den onoterade marknaden uppvisade en högre direktavkastning mellan 2011 - 2016. Sedan dess har direktavkastningen för båda noteringsformerna sjunkit till historiskt låga nivåer. Vad gäller onoterade fastighetsinvesteringar återfinns fördelar i form av målstyrning och genomförandet av långsiktiga utvecklingsprojekt, ofta som en del av en långsiktig och värdeskapande ägarstrategi. / The return of private and public real estate is a matter that has been studied extensively and has often proved the outperformance of securitized real estate over direct property in the short term. This paper will analyze historical capitalization rates in order to locate any value discrepancies between the direct and indirect property market in Sweden. Furthermore, the paper aims to understand whether there are any benefits to holding direct property, otherwise not justified by higher returns, that would explain its high valuation. The underlying data collection relies on MSCI Sweden Annual Property Index as well as financial reports and profile data from the Refinitiv Worldscope Fundamentals database for the listed real estate companies. Using the collected data, net operating income yields were built for the direct and indirect property market for the period between 2000 - 2019. These historical capitalization rate series were then compared to each other and showed some discrepancy in favor of securitized real estate which demonstrated higher capitalization rates during most of the 2000s. However, the direct real estate market was shown to outperform the indirect one between 2011 - 2016. Ever since, public and private real estate on the Swedish market has shown similar valuations and the capitalization rates are now historically low, (as at December 2019). As for holding direct property, advantages include the ability to carry out development projects, which are often part of a long-term and value-adding ownership strategy.

The master´s thesis deals with analysis of the investment project insert investment in administrativ building for owner. Based on the decision whether it is appropriate to sell or lease the property, either in an existing state, or reconstructed. I describe the methodologies calculations methodologies and necessary concepts for their understanding of the concepts in the theoretical part. The practical part I can divide into administrative, market valuation methodology, the resulting values and use of the outputs in the analysis of real estate.
