New index for sustainable real estate investments
The Swiss Sustainable Real Estate Index (SSREI) launched by MV Invest opens with the Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Sicav (ERRES).
Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Sicav (ERRES) has had its entire portfolio, which consists of 75 portfolio properties, certified, making it the first product to be included in the new Swiss Sustainable Real Estate Index (SSREI).
The index was launched by MV Invest with the aim of creating transparency and market comparability of real estate portfolios in terms of their long-term value. According to a statement by MV Invest, the instruments of the SSREI also allow an estimation of the possible improvement potential and the related investment needs. According to MV Invest, the SSREI is aimed in particular at real estate funds, stock corporations, foundations, insurance companies and pension funds.
The index is based on a requirements grid that is oriented in structure and content to the Swiss Sustainable Building Standard (SNBS). A prerequisite for inclusion in the SSREI is verification by the independent inspection body SGS Société Générale de Surveillance. SGS is the exclusive partner of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) in SNBS matters. (ah)
