Commenting on the same, Riaz Maniyar, Co-founder, YieldAsset, said: Investment in rental yielding commercial real estate has generated great wealth to investors. However, it has been available only to those with right connections and deep pockets. This asset class and its benefits have been out of reach for most of people. Fractional ownership is the future of real estate market as it addresses an important issue with commercial property – high entry barrier of large capital investment. It also enables investors to earn monthly rent from fractional ownership of these assets and build long term wealth as property price increases. We are democratizing investment in commercial real estate that has been a purview of ultra-HNIs and institutions. We follow a rigorous vetting process before on boarding any property.”

As per a recent report by Knight Frank, private equity investment in real estate jumped over 16-fold in January-March 2021 to $3.24 billion, which was largely institutional. The investment stood at mere $199 million in Q1 of 2020 calendar year.

YieldAsset has been on a journey to offer unique investment opportunities in the CRE space by fractionalizing CRE and offering it on an easy-to-use online platform. Yield Asset’s endeavor is to simplify the investment process and pocket-size the investment amount so that small investors can add its benefits to their investment portfolio. In the next few years, fractional ownership is expected to be one of top lucrative investment options due to its low risk and high return model.
