Petr Vondrášek and Adam Boruta on rental housing as an investment segment at MoneyFest 2026
This year again, we participated as a partner of the investment conference MoneyFest 2026, which for us represents an opportunity to meet investors, partners, and the professional public in person. In addition to discussions in the expo zone, we also prepared an expert workshop focused on rental housing as an investment segment. Petr Vondrášek and Adam Boruta presented insights into residential market trends, investment strategies, and the key factors influencing the performance of real estate funds.
MoneyFest is one of the most significant investment conferences in the Czech Republic, and this year’s edition once again confirmed the growing interest in real estate as a stable asset class. At our booth, we discussed how investment funds operate and specific opportunities in rental housing with visitors.
Part of the program included an afternoon workshop led by Petr Vondrášek, Asset Management Director, and Adam Boruta, Head of Funds & Investments at Fidurock. The session focused on market development, the comparison between owner-occupied and rental housing, and the increasing importance of the residential segment within investment portfolios. The presentation confirmed that rental housing has become one of the key investment asset classes in recent years.
The share of households living in rental housing in the Czech Republic is currently around 25% and continues to grow. At the same time, rental prices and pressure on housing affordability are increasing, especially in Prague and Brno. The combination of limited supply and growing demand supports stable cash flow and long-term property value growth.
The workshop also focused on the practical side of real estate investing. Key factors include location selection, quality asset management, and the ability to manage the entire property lifecycle. Real estate fund returns are based on a combination of rental income, rent indexation, and long-term asset appreciation. The discussion also addressed the differences between retail and institutional capital. Retail investors typically seek higher liquidity and regular returns, while institutional capital is more focused on long-term stability and investment scale.
We are seeing a growing number of younger investors actively looking for ways to preserve and grow capital over the long term. Real estate funds are perceived as an understandable and accessible investment tool. At the same time, homeownership is becoming less affordable, which strengthens the role of rental housing as a standard form of urban living.
For us, participation in MoneyFest 2026 was primarily an opportunity for open discussions about investing. It confirmed that rental housing remains one of the key topics on today’s market and a segment with strong long-term investment potential.
The interest of visitors and the quality of discussions showed that investors today are looking for stability, clarity, and long-term value. Principles that also form the foundation of our investment strategy. We thank the organizers for the event and look forward to the next edition.
