The Swiss Life REF (CH) European Properties real estate fund is planning a capital increase of around EUR 100 million with a subscription period from 24 June to 5 July 2019. The issue price has been set at EUR 104.00.

Existing and new investors1 can participate in the capital increase. The planned issue is taking place on a best-effort basis. Three (3) subscription rights entitle the holder to purchase one (1) new unit. The issue price is EUR 104.00. In all, a maximum of
1 000 000 new units are being issued. The actual number will be defined by the fund management company following the expiry of the subscription period. The subscription period is from 24 June to 5 July 2019 and payment planned for 11 July 2019.

Alongside three properties in Dublin, Luxembourg and Madrid, the commercial building at 32 Rue de Cambrai was recently acquired as the second property in Paris. Further real estate purchases are already under review. A substantial part of the issue proceeds will be used to repay short-term debt capital.

Advantages of European real estate investments
The Swiss Life REF (CH) European Properties real estate fund was successfully launched on 30 November 2017. Its performance and portfolio have since developed positively. At the end of May 2019, the portfolio comprised 13 properties in Germany, France, Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, the UK, Ireland and Finland with a market value of EUR 409 million. The fund invests in office, retail and residential real estate offering lasting value as well as mixed-use properties in European metropolitan regions. It focuses on central locations in large cities and regional centres and their suburbs.

Investments in European real estate generate attractive returns in the current low interest rate environment. They also have a low correlation to other asset classes. Swiss investors can use European real estate investments to significantly diversify their portfolios. Additional advantages include stable returns through rental income and potential inflation protection.
