Helvetia Investment Foundation seeks fresh capital

With the third capital increase of the Swiss real estate investment group, Helvetia Investment Foundation wants to offer pension funds the opportunity to participate in further attractive real estate investments. The capital increase will be carried out at the net asset value at the time of payment.

The Real Estate Switzerland investment group was launched in the fall of 2012. According to Helvetia Investment Foundation, around CHF 600 million is currently invested directly in residential and mixed-use properties in economically strong locations in Switzerland. The market value of the completed buildings has increased by around 200 million in the last two years, the investment foundation said. Acquisitions worth 100 million are currently under consideration, it added. (ah)
