Dawood Al Shezawi, President of IPS, emphasized Dubai's pivotal role as a leading global business hub, praising its leadership's vision that has established the foundation for excellence and leadership. He explained that Dubai provides an attractive and integrated investment environment, with Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) being one of the key channels that attract both local and international investors.

Investing in these funds offers diverse opportunities, including residential real estate, commercial projects, and hospitality assets, providing investors with promising avenues to grow their wealth.

He also highlighted the importance of investing in real estate funds in Dubai as an effective tool for benefiting from the thriving real estate market, with the potential for attractive returns and contributing to the city’s rapid growth. He stressed the need for a strategic investment approach, starting with comprehensive research and consulting financial experts to assess investment goals, ensuring informed decisions that align with the investors' financial aspirations.

Key topics of the conference include discussing global and regional real estate investment opportunities, changing regulatory and political environments, understanding the legal landscape, investment attraction strategies, evaluating economic environments, leasing versus ownership, and other key factors investors look for in real estate investment like current market drivers, evaluation of investment incentives, assessment of risks and returns, evolution of financing models, future of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and other evolving trends in real estate investment.

The Institutional Investor Conference targets real estate fund managers, REITs, real estate developers, owners of commercial and residential properties, high net-worth individuals, investors and owners of long and short-term rental properties, hotels, banks, and other financial institutions.

Alongside the booming real estate market in Dubai, characterized by record-breaking transactions and rapid growth, IPS gains significant importance as a link between industry professionals, investors, and stakeholders, enabling them to capitalize on the momentum and explore the latest trends and opportunities shaping the future of real estate.
