Country-specific risk and transfer risk

Country-specific and transfer risk incorporate the dangers of economic and political instability. Given the CA Immo Group’s high level of investment activity abroad – and particularly in Eastern Europe – inflows of capital and liquidity to which the company is undoubtedly entitled can fail to materialise owing to a lack of foreign currency or transfer restrictions in other countries. There is no generally effective way to hedge against this kind of transfer risk. CA Immo counters country-specific risk by concentrating on a defined core region with local subsidiaries and on-site staff, and through appropriate regional allocation within that core market. The company ensures it is able to respond quickly to economic and political events through continual portfolio monitoring and specific portfolio management. CA Immo negates transfer risk by repatriating liquid assets from investment markets with a low credit standing.
