Since 2012, REF has been helping investors with market research, project due diligence, and strategy development. This has ranged from detailed assessments and estimates on distressed developers' project portfolios to market due diligence on specific projects to macro-level questions linked to demand for commodities. The unique combination of the housing markets and developer data from data partner China Index Academy in Beijing, primary research, and technology-powered alternative data collection from public sources result in a valuable content set used in REF analytics and reports.

<li>A quick poll of the participants (experienced professionals in China property) showed a 100% consensus that more easing will be needed to trigger a rebound in new home sales</li>

<li>In this insight, we conducted fundamental analysis on Longfor, which has always been perceived as the best Chinese developer among all private players</li>
<li>However, since Chairlady resigns due to personal reasons, and given the policy clamp down, we think Longfor may not be able to sustain its competitive advantages over time</li>
<li>Longfor was trading at a premium to CRL and COLI, we believe the valuation premium should narrow over time.  On a relative basis we are not positive on Longfor</li>
