Introduction Saving at the moment is essential but there are two major problems issues to do it on your own: Very low return on traditional investment and savings products.

4 Introduction Saving at the moment is essential but there are two major problems issues to do it on your own: Very low return on traditional investment and savings products. High volatility in financial markets that jeopardizes income expectations. Recent studies 1 indicate that, in Spain, in just five years the real purchasing power of public pensions will fall by 6.3%, reaching a loss of 8.9% in 2025, so it will be absolutely necessary to build a savings plan for the future. At the moment, the situation for the saver is very complicated, mainly because the yields of traditional savings products do not allow the amounts needed to maintain an acceptable standard of living after retirement. The latest study of IESE Business School: Yields of pension funds in Spain , indicates that the average yield in the last fifteen years was: 15-year government bonds: 5.27%. IBEX 35: 5.24%. Pension funds: 2.03%. Although perhaps the most worrying thing of all is that among the 335 pension funds with 15 years of history, only 3 outperformed the IBEX 35 and the 15-year government bonds, while 6 funds had a negative average return. As you can see, the scenario is worrying and the traditional products of investment and savings are not the solution given the low yields they offer, the high volatility to which they are subject in some cases and, above all, the lack of transparency of many of them. Do not worry, in Housers we have found the solution to save and invest in a transparent, safe and simple way: a platform where you are the one that builds your own saving plan based on the real-estate investment as you want, when you want and from where you want. Welcome to the best way to monetize your savings. (1) Study by Javier Díaz-Giménez (IESE Business School) and Julián Díaz-Saavedra (University of Granada) 4 Investors Manual

5 How to save and what to save? THREE GOALS In recent years equity markets have been affected by strong volatility and, at the same time, fixed income (Bonds, deposits, etc.) are living a time of low yields. ASSETS THAT ALLOW DIVERSIFICATION AND BACK UP THE INVESTMENT ASSETS WITH LOW VOLATILITY GETTING STABLE INCOME In this situation both the investor and the saver have a problem because of the few alternatives that offer an attractive yield. With this scenario, three main objectives must be identified: PROMOTES DIVERSIFICATION REDUCE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN FIXED AND VARIABLE RENT REDUCE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN FIXED AND VARIABLE RENT Look for investment alternatives less vulnerable to volatility. Invest in physical assets to diversify risk and support investment. REAL-ESTATE INVESTMENT Find those investments where you can try to get a stable income. And to meet these three points real-estate investment is a great alternative because: Encourages diversification. Improves yields with potential monthly and stable revenues. Protects the portfolio of the assets due to its low correlation with fixed and variable income. 5 Investors Manual

6 Before, accessing real-estate investment as a way of saving and diversifying at the same time was only accessible to a few. Housers has democratized the market and opened the door of real-estate investment to all. We select the best investment opportunities in the best areas of the big cities, so that you can enjoy a double yield: Receiving a potential monthly rental income. The growth value of properties over time. In addition, the risk inherent to the investment is reduced because there is always a property linked to it. With Housers you can diversify according to: The type of opportunity. The typology of real-estate.

7 How to build your portfolio with Housers? 1. GET 3% FROM THE MOMENT YOUR INVEST Your money will start generating profit from the first moment, get a 3% per annum on the amount invested from the moment you invest until the project is 100% funded. 2. THANKS TO THE RENT Every month, as long as there is a tenant, you will receive in your Housers account the dividends from the rent in proportion to the amount you have invested. 3. THANKS TO THE POSSIBLE PRICE RISE The possible increase in the value of real-estate over time may increase the value of your investments, which will allow you to profit if you decide to sell all or part of your investments in our market place 7 Investors Manual

8 What kind of opportunities can I find in Housers? Basically you can find four types of investment opportunities: SAVING OPPORTUNITIES INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIXED-TYPE LOAN EQUITY OPPORTUNITIES These are long-term investments designed, studied and analyzed to gradually build a pension plan based on real-estate, at your own pace and always thinking of improving your standard of living by providing a new source of income thanks to rents. With these opportunities you will be able to put your investment for sale later and while so you can win every month the proportional part of the rent that corresponds to you as well as the revaluation of the property while maintaining your investment in your portfolio. Since these are investments saved for the creation of savings and equity, you have the power to decide when to sell through our market place. These are investment opportunities that are very focused on the rehabilitation and improvement of the properties located in the centre of the cities through the full renovation of houses or commercial premises, or the construction of new build property. For this type of project Housers sets a growth value goal and when it is reached, we proceed to sell the project. They are opportunities at 12, 24 or 36 months where the end occurs when the property is sold. In this way, your income from the sale will not depend on the supply and demand in the market place. These are medium-term opportunities (24-36 months) where a fixed rate loan is given to a real-estate developer. In this case they start to generate income from the first month based on the agreed interest that is set with the promoter after the evaluation of the entire project. In fixed rate loans Housers does not need to wait to sell the property, but receives the interest monthly until the developer repays the loan. They are, above all, opportunities focused on construction of new build property, in order to respond to the demand and the provision of new homes in the center of the big cities. Opportunities where you can find properties with or without rental and where the promoter sets a target price of sale. When this is reached, the property is sold. In addition, the estimated term for the sale of the asset is defined. The investment is executed through limited partnerships and you acquire the company's shares in the project vehicle in proportion to your investment.
