Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, Nürtingen University; Geislingen (Fakultät Wirtschaft und Recht, Fachbereich Immobilienmarketing), language: English, abstract: The latest crisis in real estate which had widened to a global financial crisis extremely affected an assumed solid and safe investment vehicle – open end real estate funds. The high share redemption by institutional investors caused a wave of redemptions since the reaction of institutional investors had lead to an uncertainty of private investors. The consequence: many open ended funds suspended the right of the redemption of share certificates by reason of illiquidity. And even today numerous capital investment companies still suspend the share redemption, respectively again. The problem is a high information asymmetry. Many investors are informed in an insufficient way. New investors need to be appealed and activated to achieve the goal of new issuance of shares. A sustainable success of the fund products for investors can only be achieved by new guidelines for liquidity management and the help of a competency based holistic marketing strategy. Mr. Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) wants to achieve a minimum investment horizon for open ended funds, but this would endanger the main advantage of this asset class – the daily possibility of redemption. Therefore it would be better to implement the law only for institutional investors. However, it is questionable whether this product can further exist in this form. The Term paper deals with open ended funds which are mainly launched for private investors. Aside exists special funds which are launched for the specific needs of institutional investors. The aim of the paper is to figure out which instrumental strategies are applied pursued by open ended funds.

How to prevent runs on open-end mutual funds? In recent years, markets have observed an innovation that changed the way open-end funds are priced. Alternative pricing rules (known as swing pricing) adjust funds’ net asset values to pass on funds’ trading costs to transacting shareholders. Using unique data on investor transactions in U.K. corporate bond funds, we show that swing pricing eliminates the first-mover advantage arising from the traditional pricing rule and significantly reduces redemptions during stress periods. The positive impact of alternative pricing rules on fund flows reverses in calm periods when costs associated with higher tracking error dominate the pricing effect.

It includes numerous detailed examples, giving readers the confidence they need to estimate and interpret their own models. Throughout, the book emphasises how various statistical techniques may be used for forecasting and shows how forecasts can be evaluated. Written by a highly experienced teacher of econometrics and a senior real estate professional, both of whom are widely known for their research, Real Estate Modelling and Forecasting is the first book to provide a practical introduction to the econometric analysis of real estate for students and practitioners.

With the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community on 1 January 1973, the opportunity presented itself for a study of open-end investment funds in the enlarged Community. The resulting book, which in a way is a natural sequel to the study Investment and Unit Trusts in Britain and America. (Elek: London, 1968), in which Dr Corner collaborated with Mr H. Burton, has been a long time in preparation, simply because of the sheer volume of statistical material- in particular, consistent sets of reports and accounts of all the EEC and Swiss investment funds - which has had to be collected. As a result, some of the analysis is based on what will inevitably be somewhat dated material at the time of publication. Unfortunately this is a handicap suffered by all such statistical work, unless one has large financial and manpower resources. We have done our best to update certain key statistics wherever this has been possible.
