This portfolio could contain real assets such as a car, or a house as well as financial assets such as stocks, bonds or real estate. The German real estate market is influenced by the activity of the Anglo-Saxon investors and so the word asset management becomes more and more famous.

They will all be explained and especially the redevelopment supported by some practical examples.
