ADVANTAGES
NAFRAM is the first platform to integrate in one single place primary direct investment and secondary trading of real estate property and related income streams in the real estate industry, securitized through fractional rights.
KEY ADVANTAGES
Innovation
To create a fully fledged market, NAFRAM as a platform, integrates around NAFRAM as a mainframe and two separate supporting layers.
Transparency
In comparison to the present peer to peer market and, as well, to the existing sequential or unregulated market approaches, NAFRAM as an automated and regulated market allows not only for financing in a regulated and liquid market but also for arbitrage products to offset/hedge business risks incurred by operators in the real estate industry
Accessibility
Katastic opens up for the first time the access of institutional investors to IPbS, as a new class of securities, thus creating a bridge between stakeholders in the music industry and institutional investors and leading investment banks.
