�The fund managers are not investing in companies whose business models are purely dependent on residential and commercial properties. Valuation was always a concern with this sector. Attempts were made in the past to bring in transparency, but questions about the future value of the landbanks and the logic applied to derive such value, still remain,� said a top fund manager with a leading domestic mutual fund, which recently shed its real estate exposure.
