Experts Weigh In: 2024 Closes with Challenges but Brings Opportunities for FIIs

“Today, the scenario of very high future interest rates puts pressure on real estate funds but, at the same time, offers discounted prices, especially for funds with a strong track record of management and quality. For those with patience and a long-term strategy, this moment can be very favorable,” Baroni emphasized.

Figueiredo reinforced: “We are in a 'sea of opportunities with waves.' There may be more short-term volatility, but those who position themselves strategically and buy consistently can reap substantial rewards in the future.”

Baroni advised investors to stick to their purchasing plans despite the uncertain economic outlook for 2025. While it’s impossible to guarantee that FII prices won’t decline further, the current moment is favorable for acquiring shares. However, he cautioned investors to carefully select funds.

“It’s not like going to the supermarket and grabbing any fruit or vegetable off the shelf. It’s about choosing the best opportunities. This due diligence ensures that both fund managers and investors select high-quality investments. In 2025, despite some shocks, I believe the market will emerge stronger,” Baroni stated.

Figueiredo concluded by stating that projections of further Selic rate hikes are likely to create discomfort and instability in the market. “2025 will be a year of harvest! That’s why it’s important to choose carefully and know where to allocate your money. We’ll see how these previously purchased assets will perform,” he said.
