Akara Swiss Diversity Property Fund PK
Akara Swiss Diversity Property Fund PK is available for you to invest in as a tax-exempt pension fund registered in Switzerland. You can also invest as an investment fund if your investor base consists solely of tax-exempt pension funds registered in Switzerland. The shares are valued at net asset value (NAV), which reduces volatility and means they cannot trade at a premium or discount. It aims to achieve a steady and attractive distribution, long-term value growth and broad diversity.
By integrating the real estate services of the Akara Group, we cover the entire value-added cycle of real estate with our in-house specialists - from development, client trusteeship and realisation to portfolio management and property management.

The Akara Diversity PK invests in existing properties (min. 80%) as well as in development and construction projects (max. 20%) with a residential and commercial investment strategy (50%, ±15 percentage points) throughout Switzerland. The properties are predominantly held directly.

Our sustainability approach
The fund management pursues the goal of net-zero CO2 of the portfolio by 2050 with regard to heat and electricity supply. The aim is to comply with a CO2 reduction pathway that corresponds to the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement and the net-zero target set by the Swiss Federal Council by 2050.
The fund management company pursues ESG integration as a sustainability approach and strives for a sustainable investment policy. When selecting and managing investments, environmental (E) and social (S) criteria as well as aspects of responsible corporate governance (G), the so-called ESG criteria, are given appropriate consideration in all phases of the property investment process (acquisition of existing properties, project developments, construction, conversion and refurbishment projects, portfolio and asset management).
Ratings
Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB)
Swiss Prime Site Solutions again participated in the assessment for the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) in 2023 with the Akara Diversity PK. The measures taken on the basis of the previous year's results and the affiliation with the Swiss Prime Site Group since the beginning of 2022 have paid off and significantly increased the score. The main drivers for the improvement in the GRESB rating were:
- Management: Adoption of the Swiss Prime Site Group's ESG policies and introduction of ESG performance targets for employees
- Performance: Conducting a tenant survey and external third-party review of performance data
- Development: Strategies for water conservation and waste management as well as requirements for the selection of building materials
REIDA
The non-profit association REIDA (Real Estate Investment Data Association) has developed a standard for determining the most important environmentally relevant key figures in the property sector. According to this REIDA standard, benchmarking was carried out in 2023 with almost 5,000 existing properties and around 60 property portfolios.
Swiss Prime Site Solutions took part in the assessment for the Real Estate Investment Data Association CO2 benchmark (REIDA CO2 benchmark) for the first time in the second half of 2023 with the Akara Diversity PK. The aim of this benchmark is to create a transparent, nationwide comparison and points of reference for measuring the CO2 emissions and CO2 intensity of investment properties.
Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)
The survey for reporting the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) also took place in the second half of 2023. These six principles are a voluntary and aspirational set of investment principles that incorporate potential measures on ESG issues into investment practice. Due to their growth over the last 15 years, the PRI have become one of the most important investor initiatives for responsible investment.
