Meta Estate Trust

What Meta Estate Trust does

Meta Estate Trust SA is a Romanian publicly listed real estate holding company founded in March 2021 and headquartered in Bucharest, trading on the AeRO market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange under symbol MET since August 29, 2022, and included in the BETAeRO index since March 20, 2023. The company operates three distinct investment strategies: Co-Development (equity partnerships with real estate developers who contribute land and project concepts while MET supplies capital), Trading (acquisition of residential apartment packages in early-stage projects for resale upon completion), and Active with Recurrent Income (long-term commercial property leases of 5-15 years to established tenants, exemplified by a 15-year Penny/REWE deal in Galați). As of 2025, Meta Estate Trust reported total assets of 135 million RON (+11% YoY), an investment portfolio of 119.3 million RON (+9%), cifra de afaceri of 15.3 million RON, and a 2024 ROE of 10.04% with a debt ratio of 6.9%.

The company's customer base spans two segments: capital market investors (retail and, prospectively, institutional) who access real estate exposure through MET shares via ASF-authorized brokers with minimum investments from approximately 1,000 EUR, and real estate developers seeking alternative financing and partnership credibility. Since inception, Meta Estate Trust has participated in 50+ real estate projects with cumulative investments exceeding 175 million EUR, targeting an annual IRR range of 12-42%. Distribution is conducted through the BVB AeRO market, supported by an investor relations program of quarterly reporting, press coverage in Romanian financial media (Bursa, Ziarul Financiar, Profit, Forbes Romania), and digital channels including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Under a new CEO appointed in early 2026, the company is executing a strategic transition toward recurring-income assets and preparing for listing on the Main Market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, targeted for H1 2026, to broaden its institutional investor reach.
