Helvetica Swiss Living Fund strengthens its growth and reduces its debt

Since the beginning of 2024, the Helvetica Swiss Living Fund (HSL Fund) has sold thirteen properties for CHF 184 million. These strategic sales have reduced the debt ratio from 43% to 31.5%, reaching a crucial milestone for the fund.

This portfolio consolidation is the result of targeted measures aimed at strengthening the HSL Fund’s position. Non-core assets were sold, increasing gross revenues above 4% and net revenues by 25 basis points, while lowering the vacancy rate below 4%.

At the end of the sales scheduled for September, the debt ratio should stabilize between 25 and 28%, ensuring long-term strengthening. At the same time, management fees have been reduced from 0.70 to 0.45%, increasing the fund's attractiveness.

The fund's strategy focuses on suburban residential areas. By focusing on low-rent housing and reducing costs through renovations, the HSL Fund is responding to the growing needs of the market.

With these initiatives, the fund is ready for a new phase of growth, aimed at generating stable and attractive income for investors.
