Charles Stevens explains how Macrobond streamlines his real estate investment research. With unified macro data, instant updates, and clear visuals, he can focus on analysis and strategy instead of manual sourcing and spreadsheets.
Enterprise Land is a newly established real estate investment manager focused on sectors where we see clear, structural change shaping the next decade — from data centers to logistics to purpose-built student accommodation.
As a Portfolio Manager, I’m responsible for underwriting and performing due diligence across these markets. When we launched in late 2024, we needed a data infrastructure that could support our research-driven investment model. That’s what led us to Macrobond.
When we began building our investment rationale, we needed to bring together a wide range of data — macroeconomic indicators, capital market metrics, and financial data — to understand the European investment landscape.
After exploring various options, we were referred to Macrobond by a peer in the industry who emphasized its strength as an all-in-one research platform. From the first demo, it was clear Macrobond could provide the depth, reliability, and structure we needed.
Before using Macrobond, there was no single source that could deliver the breadth of data we needed. We were pulling information from multiple websites — the IMF, World Bank, ECB, and national statistics agencies — which made the process slow and fragmented.
Macrobond consolidated all of that. Now we have a unified, trusted database that gives us instant access to macroeconomic and capital market data across Europe. It has completely streamlined our workflow.
The onboarding was excellent. The Macrobond team provided several hands-on training sessions and walkthroughs to help me understand the platform’s full capabilities.
Within a few sessions, I was able to build customized dashboards tracking key economic indicators, fiscal metrics, and capital market trends across regions. That early support helped me get up and running quickly — and it’s made a lasting difference in how efficiently I can work.
It’s saved me a huge amount of time. Previously, I would have spent hours collecting data from multiple sources. Now, I can refresh my dashboards with a single click and have the most recent data instantly available.
That means I can get straight into analysis — identifying what the trends are telling us, what the data implies for specific markets, and how it supports our investment strategy. I’d estimate it’s eliminated nearly all of the time I used to spend sourcing and verifying data.
It’s absolutely fundamental. When you’re presenting to investors, they’ll always ask, “Where does this data come from?” Macrobond makes that question easy to answer.
Every dataset clearly lists its source, so I can see whether it’s from the IMF, Eurostat, or a national statistics office. That transparency builds confidence both internally and externally. If needed, we can cross-check numbers with central bank or World Bank figures to validate them — but we rarely have to, because the data is consistently accurate and credible.
The ability to visualize data in multiple formats. Turning raw data into clean, readable charts helps you see the story the numbers are telling. Whether it’s a dashboard, a line graph, or a series of country comparisons, Macrobond makes it easy to highlight the key message behind the trend.
That storytelling aspect is essential for us — it helps translate complex data into insight for both our team and our investors.
It’s allowed me to focus on the more granular aspects of our strategies — diving deeper into local market fundamentals, asset-level data, and operational dynamics.
Macrobond gives me a solid macro foundation, so I can spend my time where it matters most: analyzing opportunities and shaping investment theses that align with structural market shifts.
It’s the combination of scope, accuracy, and usability. For a new investment firm, building a data-driven framework from the ground up could have been a massive undertaking — but Macrobond made it seamless.
It’s become a core part of how we operate day-to-day, supporting everything from research to investor presentations. Simply put, it allows us to move faster, stay accurate, and tell a clearer story with data.
