#S1 REIT
On July 30, Kyiv hosted the Ukrainian investment congress "Me, you, society: investing in the country's future," featuring a panel discussion titled "Battle of assets 2026–27." Participants compared various investment instruments, including military bonds (OVDP), the stock market, energy, land, income-generating real estate, foreign property, and collective investments.
The speakers included Viktor Boichuk (Commercial Director at S1 REIT and REIT Ambassador in Ukraine), Yehor Lisnychyi (Commercial Director at Tvoye Kolo), Taras Kozak (Founder and President of UNIVER Investment Group), Rostyslav Sahaida (Head of Kyiv Sales Department at Hayat Estate), and Tetiana Dukhovna (CEO of Ecotech Invest). The discussion was moderated by Dmytro Karpilovskyi (professional full-time investor and co-founder of UkrInvestClub).
One of the central topics was comparing government bonds with real estate investments. Viktor Boichuk emphasized that when evaluating UAH-denominated instruments, investors should consider currency exchange rate fluctuations alongside nominal yields.
As he noted, government bonds remain an essential defensive tool for capital preservation, though the final foreign-currency return may differ from the advertised hryvnia yield. In contrast, real estate investment funds are naturally pegged to the USD through underlying property pricing and rental rates.
“Government bonds are a solid defensive asset for preservation. However, there is another accessible instrument with an entry threshold starting at just UAH 1,000 - S1 REIT, which I represent. Today, our REITs offer a projected annual yield of 8–10%, while actual returns reach 12–16% in USD equivalent indexed to the dollar. That is already higher than government bonds," Viktor noted.
Viktor Boichuk also highlighted that collective real estate investments are highly accessible even to investors with modest capital, given the low entry barrier starting from UAH 1,000.
Another key principle he outlined was diversification. He stressed that investors should not allocate all capital into a single asset class, but rather spread it across multiple funds and asset categories.
“If you have $10,000, for instance, you can allocate $2,000 into different REITs while keeping a portion in defensive assets like government bonds," he concluded”
