UBS Group AG is betting on Brazil real estate.
The Swiss bank is starting a new business that will help investors capitalise on reduced property prices after a two-year recession, the firm's Brazil chief executive officer, Sylvia Coutinho, said in an interview in Sao Paulo. Specialised consultancy Real Estate Capital (REC) will work exclusively with the team, and REC CEO Moise Politi will head the initiative, Ms Coutinho said.
