Economists, analysts and asset managers surveyed by CNBC identified the best investment opportunities. They listed the industries and individual assets in which they would invest a million dollars in the current environment.
John Pantekidis, chief investment officer at TwinFocus, a high-net-worth-client trustee, said he would invest a million dollars to buy a stake in a specialized real estate fund, REIT. Such funds invest the funds raised either in real estate objects or in bank bonds secured by mortgage loans.
“The REIT we invest in owns one of the UK’s leading shopping centers. If it is sold at a certain price, our yield will be about 20 percent, which is very attractive, given the level of risk that we take on, ”said Pantekidis.

The founder and head of the management company Cresset, Eric Becker, offers to invest in commercial real estate, which is currently in high demand.

At the same time, he notes the importance of diversifying investments, offering government and corporate bonds of Asian companies, in particular, Chinese ones, as an alternative direction.
