Many thanks to those who attended yesterday’s discussion on creating a dataset on European leases.

It was clear that organising lease data, to provide transparency and access is expected to deliver value.

As fund management houses the value will be in making better investment decisions or explaining these decisions and outcomes to clients.  We will dedicate the RES Lease Consortium to providing data to meet these objectives:

• What data should be extracted?
• What metrics should be calculated?
• What kind of analytics should be employed?
• What do the insights mean?

The virtuous circle is then to feed these insights back into the investment process.

We look forward to taking this project further.
