The fund management company of Swiss Prime Site Solutions AG is currently reviewing a listing of the SPSS Investment Fund Commercial (SPSS IFC) on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with implementation planned for the end of 2025. Listing is subject to market conditions, approval of amendments to the fund agreement by FINMA and approval of the listing application by SIX Swiss Exchange. The aim of the planned listing is to strengthen market presence, open up access for new investors and promote the liquidity of the fund in the long term.
Until the fund agreement is amended, SPSS IFC is only open to qualified investors. At the time the amendment of the fund agreement to a mutual fund is approved, SPSS IFC will be available to all investors. The intention is to list the fund on the SIX Swiss Exchange in the «SXI Real Estate Broad» and «SXI Real Estate Funds Broad» indices.
Portfolio expansion successfully implemented
In the run-up to the planned listing, the funds from the latest capital increase were strategically invested in two attractive light industrial properties, generating net annual rental income of around CHF 2.4 million. This represented a systematic implementation of investment policy and created a key prerequisite for the fund’s ongoing structural development.
«The use of the funds from the most recent capital increase to acquire two attractive light industrial properties achieved an optimal expansion of the portfolio, strengthening our equity base in the long term and aligning the product consistently with the requirements of a stock exchange listing», says Maximilian Hoffmann, CIO Funds (Commercial).
The fund management company is convinced that the planned listing represents a significant milestone in the development of SPSS IFC as a liquid real estate investment offering long-term value.
We would like to thank all existing investors for their trust and look forward to shaping the next stage in our development together.
