Successful acquisition in Lyss (Bern)
The SPSS IFC has expanded its portfolio with a light industrial property in the established commercial location of Lyss. The property offers excellent flexibility and accessibility and meets all the requirements for a versatile commercial property. The tenant is one of the world’s leading providers of lifting, connecting and anchoring technologies and is part of a global leader in building materials. The 15-year triple-net rental agreement offers the tenant long-term planning security.
Portfolio growth
The acquisition increases the value of the portfolio to almost CHF 500 million. The transaction is a further step in the consistent implementation of the fund’s announced strategy and strengthens its allocation by expanding its portfolio in the light industrial segment in German-speaking Switzerland. The long-term triple-net rental agreement increases portfolio efficiency, generates stable income and supports the fund’s distribution target.
Investment flexibility through capital reserves
As a result of this transaction, the SPSS IFC will have dedicated capital reserves available for making quick investments in line with its strategy. This will enable the fund to continue taking advantage of attractive opportunities as they arise and add further high-quality properties to the portfolio.
Planned listing on 9 December 2025
FINMA has approved the conversion of the SPSS IFC into a mutual fund. The listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange is scheduled for 9 December 2025. This will make the fund accessible to a broader investor base of both private and institutional investors.
Fund profile
The Swiss Prime Site Solutions Investment Fund Commercial (SPSS IFC) gives investors access to an attractive portfolio of high-yield Swiss commercial real estate. Until the listing on 9 December 2025, the fund is open exclusively to institutional investors – with the conversion into a mutual fund, it will also be accessible to private investors. The focus is on high-yield commercial properties in economically robust locations throughout Switzerland. The fund strategy is based on broad diversification, high cash flow stability and compelling risk/return profiles. The aim is to generate reliable returns and secure regular, attractive distributions for investors. The SPSS IFC is the direct owner of the real estate; as such, taxes on income and capital gains are pre-paid by the fund itself, making them tax-free to investors (private and business assets) resident or domiciled in Switzerland.
