Meta Estate Trust has a holding- like structure that combines the advantages of real estate investments with those of capital markets by creating a financial and operational instrument by which any investor can access the returns offered by the real estate market, regardless of the available capital. The objective of the Meta Estate Trust management team is to reach a targeted return projected as an annual average of approximately 15% in the first years.

On September 27th, 2021, the company approved a 35.9 million lei capital increase. This amount is to be raised from the interested investors through a private placement estimated to take place in the second half of November. The investors who will participate in the private placement will benefit from a 10% allocation in preferential shares bearing a preferential dividend. In April 2022, Meta Estate Trust aims to be listed on the AeRO market.

Meta Estate Trust is managed by the five initiators of the project: Eugen Voicu – through Certinvest Management Solutions, Ionuț Nicolescu – president of SVN Romania, Adrian Stanciu – founding member of Erudio and Ascendis Consulting, Delta Studio – through entrepreneurs Dragoș Bonea and Alex Bonea and Cosmin Mizof, with the support of an Advisory Board consisting of five shareholders: Ilinca Von Derenthall, Marian Alecu, Andreea Păun, Marius Scuta and Viorel Nica.
