An informational seminar for those interested in investing in industrial properties via the Accolade fund took place at the Prague Hotel Josef on April 1, 2015. The seminar was organised by the Svoboda & Williams real estate agency which is the exclusive marketing partner of the Accolade Group.
In the course of the seminar Milan Kratina, the board chairman of Accolade, discussed the Accolade investment scheme as well as the advantages of investing in industrial properties. He also listed the most important industrial halls which the fund has so far invested in, including Ideal Automotive and Linde Pohony in Ostrov u Stříbra and Assa Abloy in Týniště nad Orlicí, as well as the fund's future investment plans. Kratina views the industrial property market as pulled by demand and emphasized that industrial halls typically feature creditworthy tenants and very low levels of vacancies. As a result, investment in the Accolade fund is a conservative investment strategy which, nevertheless, promises an average revenue of 7 – 11 % p.a.
Kratina's presentation was followed by talks by some of the investors who decided to entrust the Accolade fund their money. These include Michal Petrman, the former director of the Deloitte auditing company, and Prokop Svoboda, the Managing Partner of Svoboda & Williams. The seminar ended with a short Q & A session and refreshment.
