A tradition of innovation in Asset Management
The oldest real estate fund in Switzerland, dating from 1938, is managed by our Real Estate investment team. Since then, we have worked toward creating new investment solutions for our clients through product innovation that fulfils the need for risk/return optimization. We have a wide variety of products, with investment styles ranging from core to value added.
We offer our customers more than just products – our aim is to provide solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients. Whether you want to invest locally, regionally, or globally; whether you are a pension fund or a private investor, we can provide a solution for your needs. If it is not in the direct property area, we can also offer a number of solutions within the indirect property market worldwide.
As a major real estate owner, we are firmly convinced that a sustainability-based approach is absolutely essential in terms of property management, leading to a positive impact on the future value of the real estate holdings. We therefore ensure that sustainability considerations regarding society, the economy and environment are incorporated into our relationships, business practices and planning.
