In the CBN Dinheiro program, financial specialist Marcelo d'Agosto explained the two factors that determine the decline in real estate fund share prices. The first, of a general nature, is linked to long-term interest rates, especially the remuneration of IPCA Treasury bonds: when these interest rates rise, the value of real estate fund shares tends to fall, as the monthly distributions paid by the funds become relatively less attractive compared to the higher returns available in Treasury bonds, causing the share price to adjust downward. The second factor is specific to each fund and depends on their individual characteristics.
