How investors will benefit from Dubai’s new law on real estate funds – The National

Dubai’s new law to incentivise property investment funds is expected to attract more foreign capital to the industry, but it is too early to tell how it will benefit retail property investors, experts have said.

The law will provide further transparency to institutional investors, says Prathyusha Gurrapu, head of research and advisory at property consultancy Core.

“It may not be a direct benefit to typical retail investors, as more education is needed on the benefits of real estate investment funds. Retail investors are currently being drawn to smaller real estate crowdfunding and fractional ownership platforms,” Ms Gurrapu says.
