As we enter a new chapter with REFIN, I am once again taking on the exciting task of building a diversified investment portfolio — this time in the interest of our shareholders and with a new strategic mindset and spirit that reflects the evolving future ahead of us, shaped by innovation, technology, and AI.
Our goal is to develop a sustainable, multi-sector portfolio, representing both economic foresight and a refined lifestyle philosophy.
Over the coming years, the evolution of our company and its corporate identity will naturally take shape. Our guiding principle is long-term value creation through quality, resilience, and independence.
In a world of hidden inflation, market distortions, and rapid technological change, portfolio management has become a greater challenge than ever before. Real-estate markets fluctuate, affordability is shrinking, and global economic signals call for careful, forward-looking diversification.
We believe that true wealth preservation — and ultimately wealth growth — can only be achieved through strategic, long-term positioning in the right trends.
Therefore, our approach is based on flexibility, independence, and selective excellence — investing in multiple well-defined and high-quality assets rather than broad speculation. The key will be to maintain balance, select the right partners, and build a capable team aligned with our vision.
Our Agenda 2040 defines a 15-year horizon for portfolio growth, focusing on stability, innovation, and tangible value creation. We pursue a balanced mix of:
- Luxury Properties — timeless real estate in the top 10 % of global locations, ensuring long-term demand and value retention.
- Commercial Properties — essential service spaces such as cafés, therapy studios, and wellness facilities with consistent local demand.
- Hospitality & Airbnb Assets — boutique properties in prime locations, offering steady returns through experiential stays.
- Start-Ups & Innovation Ventures — selective participation in scalable companies with technological or lifestyle synergies, including projects such as Simple Software and others within the REFIN ecosystem.
This is not a race for quick profit. It is a deliberate, thoughtful journey of building something lasting — an ecosystem of value, creativity, and integrity.
I am honored to continue this work and grateful for the opportunity to shape, once again, a portfolio that reflects both economic responsibility and the spirit of our time.
