Helvetia Asset Management Plans Capital Increase for Real Estate Acquisition

On February 17, 2026, Helvetia Asset Management Ltd announced its plan to raise approximately CHF 128 million to bolster the Helvetia (CH) Swiss Property Fund. The initiative aims to acquire a real estate portfolio valued at around CHF 108 million. This acquisition strategy aligns with the fund's goal of enhancing its existing property investments.

The proposed portfolio includes three residential and one commercial property spread across three Swiss cantons. Notably, the purchase aligns with the fund's strategy to invest in high-quality properties. The required approval for this transaction has already been secured from FINMA, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority.

The Zürcher Kantonalbank will manage the capital increase, expected to elevate the fund's real estate assets beyond CHF 1.4 billion. The detailed terms of this capital initiative will be announced in March 2026.
