Investment objective and ESG approach

The focus is on office space in the economically strongest metropolitan areas, such as Zurich, Basel, Geneva, St. Gallen, Lucerne and Lugano, as well as retail space in high-footfall locations with sustainable formats. Within the retail use type, there is a strong focus on food, near-food and everyday
goods – where demand is less dependent on economic cycles and less impacted by structural trends. The portfolio also has mixed-use properties that providestable revenues.

The targeted mix of different types of use aims to achieve a balanced risk/return profile. While office properties ensure stability through long-term leases with anchor tenants providing good credit ratings, retail space for basic services provides robust cash flows.

The sustainability strategy is consistently included in the investment and management process. A key target of the fund is for the portfolio to be net zero by 2050 at the latest. As well as this long-term goal, the real estate fund has set itself a milestone target to reduce its greenhouse gas intensity to 4.8 kg CO2e/m2 by 2035. In order to closely follow the decarbonisation pathway, the fund uses the established CRREM model (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor), while the environment-related key figures are reported transparently in line with the CO2 benchmarking framework for real estate portfolios as noted in the Asset Management Association Switzerland (AMAS) circulars 04/2022 and 06/2023.
