Euromoney elects EfTEN Capital best real estate fund manager in Central and Eastern Europe
EstVCA member EfTEN Capital, the largest real estate fund manager in the Baltic States, was elected the best real estate investment manager in Central and Eastern Europe by Euromoney’s 2021 Real Estate Study.
“The size of the business real estate sector in Central and Eastern Europe is several times that of the Baltic states. We were therefore pleasantly surprised that EfTEN Capital which focuses on the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian markets was voted the best by real estate professionals. I am deeply grateful to our clients, investors and our team, together with whom we have been striving to create value for all parties since 2008. Being deemed worthy of such high recognition renders us somewhat humble but mostly it drives us to do even better in the future,” said Viljar Arakas, CEO of EfTEN Capital AS.
Euromoney’s annual real estate study was conducted for the 17th time and a total of 3355 professionals globally participated in it, said EfTEN.
Arakas stated that regardless of the title, EfTEN’s home market remains in the Baltic states, where the company still sees potential for growth. “At the beginning of September, we closed the largest deal of all times for EfTEN, purchasing Jaunā Teika centre of business buildings in Riga for 131 million euros. We have launched EfTEN United Property Fund, thus entering the segment of residential real estate and offering the general public an opportunity to invest, be it even by 10 euros a month,” Arakas added.
