Helvetica Property Investors AG, founded in 2007, now has "new and attractive growth opportunities open to it" with its Finma approval as a fund management company, according to a company media release. "The new fund, which has already been approved by Finma, is expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2016 and is primarily aimed at qualified investors with a long-term investment horizon who are looking for a steady flow of income and at the same time value stability," says Chairman of the Board Hans Ueli Keller.
"The Finma approval as a fund management company represents a milestone in the history of our company. For us, it is confirmation that we not only meet our own high standards of corporate governance and soundness, but also satisfy Finma's highest standards," adds Hans R. Holdener, CEO and Managing Partner of Helvetica Property Investors.
Zurich-based Helvetica Property Investors AG covers the full range in real estate investments, including investment strategies, selection of investment properties, structuring of transactions, acquisitions, financing, portfolio management and sales.
