Qualified investors can participate in the capital increase. The new units can be purchased based on the net asset value. The issue will take place on commission ("best effort basis") as part of a subscription offer. There will be no trading of subscription rights. The fund management company reserves the right to market any unsubscribed units to new investors. The actual number of newly issued units is defined by the fund management following the expiry of the subscription period. The maximum of newly issued units is restricted to 77 143.
Swiss Life REF (LUX) Commercial Properties Switzerland was launched on 1 November 2012 with an overall volume of CHF 600 million. Fund performance in past years has been very strong, due to the excellent quality of the properties and locations. The property portfolio has 30 properties as at 31 March 2017 (key date for the revaluation of the portfolio by Wüest Partner) with a market value of approximately CHF 832 million. The total return was 6.2% in the last financial year. The fund affords institutional investors access to a diversified portfolio of Swiss commercial real estate in central locations with first-class tenants.
The most recent acquisitions with a view to an ongoing capital increase were the commercial properties at Gaiserwaldstrasse 4 in St. Gallen and Industriestrasse 32 in Dietlikon. Both properties are fully let with long leases. The issue proceeds are being used to reduce the share of debt capital to the extent that future property purchases can be financed with new debt capital. The funds are also used for ongoing portfolio renewal and development. Investors can benefit from broader diversification by expanding the portfolio.
