Kwasi Affum - Post Covid Trends

As with the last time I spoke to Kwasi in episode 11 I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion.

Kwasi Affum is a VP at Barclays as well as personally investing directly in property.

He has a brilliant way of explaining complex subjects and it is just a shame we didn't have 4 hours to talk.

In this episode we discuss;

Investing for wealth creation vs wealth preservation. 

The difference in strategies for investing at institutional level vs personal level. 

How Property as a business can often be a private equity play. 

How institutional money securitises the income of property. 

Property should not be seen as fixed income unless the portfolio is a significant size which is why indirectly investing in REIT's and funds can be better than direct investment if fixed income is desirable. 

Environmental trends and does the cost of ESG actually generate a good return. 

The office market. 

How the timeframe of investing into assets can change the market. 

NFTs and the metaverse- what they are and why might people want to invest in virtual land and property. 

How thinking about returns of an investment in relation to a risk free rate at different points in time is important.

and lots more.
