Real estate funds have broken the bank in Hungary over the past decade

Particularly impressive is the rise of real estate funds, which have almost broken the bank over the past ten years. The benchmark interest rate decreased from 6 percent at the beginning of 2010 to 0.6 percent by the end of 2020, which caused even investors with a lower risk tolerance to turn to higher risk schemes. The net asset value of investment funds also showed a strong expansion in the last decade, from a value of HUF 3,895 billion at the end of 2010 to close to HUF 10,450 billion by the end of 2021.
