Helvetica Property Investors is launching its first regulated Swiss Real Estate Fund for Qualified investors
Helvetica Property Investors, which was recently approved by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), is launching its first regulated real estate fund, Helvetica Swiss Commercial. The fund is focusing on commercial properties across the most dynamic economic regions in Switzerland, and a 30% quote of residential properties, in order to balance the portfolio.
With a hands on Active Asset Management approach, Helvetica Property Investors unlocks hidden value and secures long-term value creation. With this approach, our firm has been able to achieve attractive and stable returns for its investors since 2007.
“The core of the investment strategy is in real estate outside of the sold-out city centre locations as well as properties which, while achieving attractive operating returns, remain potentially undervalued and could therefore benefit from the next cyclical boom“, says Hans R. Holdener, CEO and Managing Partner of Helvetica Property Investors.
Hans Ueli Keller, Chairman of the Board of Directors, comments: “Helvetica Swiss Commercial is targeting qualified investors whose investment policy is bound to strict qualitative investment criteria and guidelines. We are offering investors such as pension funds the opportunity to benefit from our experience and expertise, and to acquire shares at Net Asset Value. We believe this is an attractive value propositions in today's market environment“.
The Swiss real estate fund market, currently has an average Net Asset Value premium of over 30 percent. This mirrors the great quality of the Swiss Real Estate Asset Class but also the strong demand from investors looking for positive returns and stable value growth. New funds such as Helvetica Swiss Commercial, is therefore considered an attractive alternative.
