Is there a European real estate fund?

Although I like to invest in shares and property directly Im also interested in a real estate fund that specialises in E European property. I firmly beleive places such as Germany, Estonia and Slovenia will substantially outperform UK property.

Ive seen the Standard Life Property fund but this includes a good deal of Brittish and American real estate which I beleive will not produce worthwhile growth in the next 5 - 10 years.

Any suggestions?

    SWIP Euro real estate has been on my list since launch last year. It may not be an exact match for what you want but the UT/OEIC side is a little light on that front. ITs may offer a greater selection but as an IFA, I am not authorised to recommend ITs and therefore don't take much notice in what is/isnt available on that front.

    These things are often done through limited partnerships, but there are plenty of new listings on AIM that are chasing hot money:
    FF&P Russia Real Estate Development Limited - listing soon
    Nanette Real Estate Group N.V. - listing today I think, poland & hungary
    Vivacon German Properties PLC - announced intention to list on AIM

    and lots more. THIS IN NO WAY CONSTITUTES A RECOMMENDATION, it's provided for information only
