Open-ended real estate fund Real estate gallery This consumer information serves advertising purposes. Foreword Dr. Andreas Muschter, Chief Executive Officer of Commerz Real AG Dear Reader, A gallery can display the most impressive aspects of a complete work or it can show a representative extract. In the case of this real estate gallery we have opted for a combination of both. Our gallery shows you a cross-section of the total of more than 100 hausInvest fund properties, while at the same time also presenting some special highlights: in addition to one of Europe’s largest shopping centres, the fund’s portfolio includes the first office real estate in Europe to fulfil the platinum standard of the LEED certification assessment for sustainability. hausInvest has now been underlining its solidity and stability since as long ago as 1972. Much has happened in this long period of time. The constant feature, however, has been change: hausInvest has developed from a small-volume investment fund into one of the giants of the industry. The fund for office real estate has become an investment product with a wide diversity of uses in its portfolio. Initially a purely German fund, hausInvest is now at home in Europe and is pursuing a clearly-defined international strategy. For four decades now the burning question for us has been how we can invest the assets of our investors profitably and securely. Despite societal and political changes, the basic answer has always remained the same: high-quality, substantial real estate with predominantly long-term lease agreements in locations with promising economic strength has formed the foundation for the success of hausInvest from the very outset. The precise location of such substance is something that has in part changed over the years – and thus hausInvest has changed too. Good fund management is, therefore, the capacity to constantly question and reassess accepted solutions. Regular amendment in line with market forces and the permanent anticipation of these is what we call active portfolio management. This has made hausInvest a success story for 42 years now and one of the most attractive investment products in Germany. Form your own picture of the diversity of our hausInvest real estate. I wish you lots of pleasure on a round-trip of our gallery.

Cover photo: Hotel de Rome, Berlin, Germany New Babylon, The Hague, Netherlands Office Paternoster Square, London, Great Britain Goodbye greyness: Even though things sometimes become turbulent, modern workplaces have a high well-being factor. Relaxing and working are not mutually exclusive. A first-class fit-out, lots of natural daylight and appealing colour concepts enhance productivity – the right framework for the global business of renowned companies. © Hochtief Projeckentwicklung GmbH 7 Office Retail © Hochtief Projeckentwicklung GmbH Hotel & Logistics Tradition meets modernity Neue Direktion Köln is currently being developed in a prestigious location right on the banks of the Rhine and in the immediate vicinity of the Cologne Cathedral and the central station. To this end the building erected in 1913 for Cologne’s regional railway administration is being entirely rebuilt and supplemented with a modern glass roof. Merely the heriage-protected façade will be retained and integrated into the new building. Following completion it is intended to have the property certified to the silver standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen – DGNB). Some 22,000 m² of state-of-the-art office space are being created behind the historical façade. The sole tenant in Neue Direktion Köln is the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The lease agreement has a term of 20 years with an option for an extension. The building – with its symbiosis of neoclassical façade and the modern roof design – will be a new architectural landmark along Cologne’s Rhine panorama. Moreover, thanks to the longterm lease agreement with the renowned EASA, this office property will make a reliable contribution to the success of hausInvest. Neue Direktion Köln (Project development) Cologne, Germany Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer 3 Constructed: Planned completion May 2016 Investment completed: December 2013 Rental area: 22,427 m² Tenant: EASA Total investment costs: € 128 million More information: Scan in the QR code and experience Neue Direktion Köln at first hand. 8 Japan Center A little piece of Japan on Main Frankfurt, Germany Taunusstrasse 2 With its architecture reminiscent of the Far East, the Japan Center dominates the Frankfurt skyline in its own special manner. Despite its relatively low height of 115 metres when compared with the neighbouring skyscrapers in the banking district, the Japan Center is not to be overseen. The red granite façade with its clear lines immediately catches the eye. The façade comprises a grid of stone blocks measuring 90 by 180 cm, each weighing 80 kilograms, and is based on the tatami mat – the most important measure in traditional Japanese architecture. Constructed: 1996 Acquired: June 2002 Rental area: 26,003 m² Tenants: incl. ECB, McKinsey Market value: € 167.9 million In addition to modern office space the Japan Center accommodates a conference centre with four meeting rooms and the restaurant “Windows 25” on the top floor. Here the visitor also has a fantastic view over “Mainhattan”, as Frankfurt’s skyline is known locally. The main tenant for the modern office space is the European Banking Authority. This agency, a part of the European Central Bank, leased more than half of the building as of the end of 2013. 9 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Unadulterated nature in the inner city Cambium The Cambium is a truly special piece of real estate. The name itself already promises a great deal: the word cambium is used by botanists to describe the blossoming part of a plant which supplies the petals with nutrients. The function of the “energy supplier” in this red clinker construction is assumed by the generously-proportioned atrium. Wood, natural stone, plants, sunlight and water characterise the atmosphere. Hamburg, Germany Nagelsweg 33–35 Since the conclusion of the extensive refurbishment work in 2005 the property has become a “green oasis” in the southern part of Hamburg’s city centre. The bright, spacious and generously-greened winter garden with its glass-and-steel roof construction is a perfect place to relax. At the same time productivity and creativity are enhanced thanks to the modern well-being ambience of the offices. Refurbished: 2005 Acquired: January 1988 Rental area: 13,531 m² Tenants: incl. Körber AG, Easynet GmbH Market value: € 30.9 million 10 Place d’Iéna Top location with unique vista Paris, France 7 Place d’Iéna One of the most prestigious pieces of office real estate in the Parisian central business district, the 16th arrondissement, is Place d’Iéna. Precious marble and wood panelling in the entrance area immediately underline the exclusive nature of the building, which was constructed in 2000 and extensively refurbished in 2008. Accordingly, the main tenants are renowned companies: the Japanese financial holding Nomura, and the computer and entertainment electronics manufacturer Apple. The panorama patio on the top floor offers employees a view of the city’s numerous sights towards Montmartre and SacréCoeur. Constructed: 2000 Acquired: May 2002 Rental area: 11,779 m² Tenants: incl. Apple, Nomura Market value: € 160.3 million Just a stone’s throw from the garden of Place d’Iéna is the Eiffel Tower. The former tennis court of its constructor, Gustave Eiffel, has been integrated into the park-like grounds that go with the real estate. Located right next to a metro station, the office building is easily reached by public transport and – by Parisian standards – also quite easily by car. 11 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Office with an unmistakeable working atmosphere Rives de Bercy In the 1980s the Rives de Bercy district in eastern Paris saw several significant simultaneous construction projects: the Palais Omnisport, the Finance Ministry and the new National Library were built here. Subsequently a large number of new residential and office buildings were constructed along the river Seine to form an ensemble with these large buildings. This expansion of the area has meant that the district is now very much the “in place” to be. And in the midst of these buildings is an office block with an impressive glass façade and modern architecture – Rives de Bercy. Charenton-le-Pont, France Quai de Bercy Constructed: 2003 Acquired: November 2001 Rental area: 31,942 m² Tenant: Crédit Foncier de France Market value: € 187.4 million 1) 1) The impressive lobby, with a view of the Quai de Bercy, and the open areas offer an unmistakeable working atmosphere, yet relaxation is also never far away. On the grassed roof terraces employees can enjoy an incredible panoramic view of Paris. The property is situated in the immediate vicinity of the city’s orbital motorway, and downtown Paris may be reached in just a few minutes with public transport. The tenant of the property is Crédit Foncier, France’s largest private real estate financier and one of the big players worldwide. ausInvest holds a stake of h 59.78 % in the property. 13 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Historical real estate with a modern interior Great Portland Street The real estate Great Portland Street in London’s West End exudes Victorian elegance. But behind the property’s stone walls are flexible office areas with a high-quality fit-out. An exclusive entrance area rounds off the representative character. The main tenants are the real estate experts from MJ Mapp. The benefits of the building are also utilised by the international cosmetics manufacturer Estée Lauder, whose daily business is closely tied to beauty. Thus the Victorian aesthetics of the property ideally suit the company’s concept – and was chosen as its representative office in the English capital. London, Great Britain W1W, 5 Marylebone, 180 Great Portland Street The property was originally built in 1910 as an apartment building. In the course of a ground-up renovation it was given new windows and modern building technology in 2007; the façade is now also radiant following refurbishment. And as Great Portland Street is close to the underground rail network, the offices can easily be reached even when the streets are thronging with rush-hour traffic. Refurbished: 2007 Acquired: September 2008 Rental area: 10,014 m² Tenants: incl. MJ Mapp, Estée Lauder Cosmetics Market value: £ 93.3 million 14 New Babylon (Building H) The Hague, Netherlands Bezuidenhoutseweg 57 Constructed: 2010 Acquired: September 2010 Rental area: 12,023 m² Tenant: Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn Market value: € 41.2 million Right where it’s happening Together with the neighbouring central station, the “New Babylon” building complex in The Hague has been given a complete facelift. Existing office buildings were modernised and new blocks constructed. Thus, an exciting mix of working and residential areas, shopping opportunities, food and drink outlets has come about directly in the city centre. A part of this extensive construction project is Building H – an office property that meets the highest tenant demands. In the heart of The Hague – the seat of the government of the Netherlands, the residence of the royal family and home to numerous international institutions – is where Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn feels right at home. The long-standing and renowned law firm has been domiciled here since 1977 and moved into new offices in Building H in June 2010. The offices are generously proportioned, flooded with light and fitted with high-quality interiors – just what one would expect from the law firm that provides the Dutch attorney-general. In the Netherlands there is only one attorney-general, who represents the state in all legal matters. This person is named as the attorney-general following a royal proclamation. The law firm has provided the attorney-general since 1888. 15 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Administration experts at work behind futuristic façade City Atrium With its futuristic glass façade the City Atrium is an urban development highlight in northern Brussels. The main tenant in the two-wing, ten-storey building complex is Régie des Bâtiments. This government agency, which is part of Belgium’s Ministry of Finance and which administers all the public buildings in the country, has made a longterm commitment to the location. The lease agreement was once again extended only recently. This agreement – signed personally by Belgium’s Minister of Finance – extends through to the end of 2032. Brussels, Belgium Rue du Progrès 50–56 In addition to the above-average length of the lease agreement – the invariance of bureaucracy has its benefits at times – the City Atrium captivates thanks to its excellent location. The property is located at Brussels North railway station and in the heart of a great neighbourhood. The quarter is already home to major companies and public sector administration units. Both downtown Brussels and the airport may be reached in just a few minutes. Constructed: 2003 Acquired: December 2002 Rental area: 47,784 m² Tenant: Régie des Bâtiments Market value: € 175.4 million 17 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Where form meets function Tulipan House The architects of Tulipan House in Warsaw have succeeded in creating an attractive blend of form and function. Located in the new business district of Mokotów, this office scheme exudes an apparent nonchalance – an impression explained by the low height of the building and a lobby that is just as high as the building itself and which features a stylish atrium and a façade of sandstone, timber and glass. Warsaw, Poland Ulica Domaniewska 50a This character also extends to the office floors with their high-end fit-out, expansiveness, and absence of supports. Light plays a key role in enhancing the impression. As the functional floor-plan channels daylight into all areas of the building, the illumination in the evening creates an atmospheric ambience. No wonder then that the property has already won an award for its impressive lighting concept in an architectural competition. The building picked up another award in 2013: the tenants voted Tulipan House as “Office of the Year 2013”. The hausInvest real estate came out on top of a total of 60 office buildings in a survey conducted by the Polish specialist publication Eurobuild. Constructed: 2008 Acquired: June 2008 Rental area: 18,634 m² Tenants: incl. Huawei, Kodak Market value: € 52.3 million 18 Lintulahti Committed to sustainability Helsinki, Finland Lintulahdenkatu 10 Lintulahti is two kilometres east of downtown Helsinki – only a stone’s throw from the Baltic Sea. At first glance the office building appears somewhat unexceptional. Yet this real estate has a lot to offer. Lintulahti is the first building in Europe to fulfil the platinum standard – the highest standard – of the American LEED program for sustainable real estate. Constructed: 2009 Acquired: August 2010 Rental area: 10,549 m² Tenants: incl. Aspo, Tommy Hilfiger Market value: € 40.2 million That this is not a matter of chance is something that only becomes clear if one takes a closer look: the façade of Lintulahti is twice as air-tight as that of comparable buildings. In combination with modern windows, any loss of heat is thus avoided to the greatestpossible extent. 85 per cent of the rental areas are illuminated with natural daylight. The property thus consumes 30 per cent less energy than demanded of new buildings in Finland. This is, naturally enough, also environmentally-friendly: the electricity is 100 per cent green. And instead of using air-conditioning, the property’s temperature is regulated using district cooling. Many of the employees from the tenants located here use the excellent links to local public transport, travelling to the office by suburban or underground train. The interplay of ideas large and small is the key to the successful concept here. 19 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Unequal siblings rank among Singapore’s top addresses Shenton Way If area is taken as a standard, Singapore is about the same size as Hamburg. As an international financial centre and the world’s largest transhipment centre for goods, the smallest country in Southeast Asia is a veritable giant. The real estate Shenton Way is centrally located in this market. The property at the western end of the banking and finance district comprises two very different yet equally spectacular office towers. The North Tower offers some 26,000 m² of space across 34 storeys, which are predominantly leased to companies from the maritime, financial services and consulting sectors. Singapore, Singapore 78 Shenton Way Constructed: 1988/2009 Acquired: January 2008 Rental area: 33,595 m² Tenants: incl. Shimizu Corporation,CPM Consulting Market value: SGD 611.5 million 1) 1) In 2009 the North Tower was joined by a little brother, to which it is linked by a central lobby. The South Tower – one of the most modern office buildings in Singapore – was erected on the roof of an adjacent car park. Its seven storeys provide about 7,000 m² of lettable space. The main tenant is the insurance company American Home Assurance. All areas of the central business district may be reached from both towers within ten minutes on foot or five minutes by car. ausInvest holds a stake of h 50 % in the property. Espai Gironès, Girona, Spain Retail Westfield, London, Great Britain Modern shopping centres offer a shopping experience with considerable recreational value. Luxury goods, trend brands, daily necessities – all under one roof. After the shopping spree, relaxation is also on offer thanks to restaurants, cinemas and fitness studios. This concept functions worldwide and promises success in the long term. 23 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Shopping in a new dimension Westfield Even for London the dimensions are gigantic. Westfield – with a retail area equivalent to 25 soccer pitches one of the largest shopping centres in Europe – is just five kilometres from the centre of the capital. With a lettable area of more than 162,000 m², over 265 stores and 40 restaurants, this giant sets new standards in terms of size and its offering. The mall combines the exclusivity of London’s Bond Street with the wide retail diversity of Oxford Street. All price ranges are gathered under one roof – protected from the elements and the noise of traffic. London, Great Britain Westfield/White City Constructed: 2008 Acquired: August 2004 Rental area: 162,839 m² Tenants: incl. Debenhams, Next, House of Fraser, Marks & Spencer Market value: £ 1,979 million 1) 1) The centrepiece is the light-flooded atrium – which could easily accommodate a jumbo jet. Here shoppers can find trend brands such as Hollister, Cos and Zara. In addition there are the anchor tenants, including Marks & Spencer and Debenhams. The expansive aisles of the luxury section are home to a procession of boutiques for more than 40 top-end brands such as Louis Vuitton, Prada and Dior. The concept has paid off: last year some 30 million shoppers generated a turnover of around a billion pounds. Westfield profits not only from the excellent transport connectivity, but also from London’s popularity as a tourist destination. 30 per cent of the customers are tourists from all over the world. ausInvest holds a stake of h 50 % in the property.

The Orio Center has a special status in the Bergamo conurbation. Customers can shop here for any number of international trend brands, while at the same time enjoying events and exhibitions of contemporary art. At present, for example, the mall is populated by 7,200 brightly coloured life-sized plastic sculptures of animals. The spectacle is attracting new customers to the mall, and ensuring the shopping centre an entry in the Guinness Book of Records – for the second time now since 2007. Refurbished: 2005 Acquired: June 2000 Rental area: 52,057 m² Tenants: incl. Benetton, H & M, Hollister, Zara Market value: € 334.6 million The fully-leased centre with its 200 outlets is extremely successful. Each day as many as 40,000 customers flock to the shopping paradise, which is located right next to the motorway and in close proximity to the airport. It may be reached by 1.8 million people within 40 minutes – not including air passengers. And this is also appreciated by the tenants: Apple and the trend brand Hollister opened outlets in the Orio Center at the end of 2010. So as to fulfil customer requirements and tenant wishes in the future, the shopping mall is currently being expanded to 69,000 m². 25 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Shopping and recharging of batteries made easy Forum Algarve For many Portuguese people, shopping malls are a popular shopping facility – and often the only one. This is why shopping centres such as Forum Algarve continue to benefit from a stable consumer base. The fully-leased mall near Faro, which boasts 114 stores and a cinema, is frequented by more than eight million customers every year. Among the most renowned brands are Zara, MAC, Apple and Nespresso. So that customers enjoy shopping here and return on a regular basis, the centre management consistently implements new ideas. Numerous marketing awards are testimony to the success of customer loyalty measures. So as to attract local visitors and tourists to the centre in the summer months – which generally have weaker sales – this year once again saw the staging of the music event “Forum Summer Sounds”. On three different evenings popular national bands played to a total of some 100,000 music fans. Faro, Portugal Estrada National 125 When it comes to environmental compatibility Forum Algarve is also a pioneer. Its energy efficiency has been certified by an independent body. Moreover, visitors can literally recharge their batteries here: a number of parking spaces with charging stations are available for electric cars. Constructed: 2001 Acquired: May 2000 Rental area: 35,415 m² Tenants: incl. Zara, C & A, FNAC Market value: € 109.8 million 26 Regensburg Arcaden Shopping centre with a well-being factor Regensburg, Germany Friedenstrasse 23 Striking wall cladding, shop façades that protrude into the mall, a new lighting and illumination concept, as well as lounge-style seating – these are probably the most noticeable changes to Regensburg Arcaden to result from the 18 months’ of refurbishment measures that were completed in the spring of 2013. So as to bring the shopping centre up to standard for the coming years, the sanitary facilities were also renovated and refurbished, numerous stores relocated and the footprints of the sales areas optimised in part. Constructed: 2002 Acquired: November 2002 Rental area: 37,002 m² Tenants: incl. Kaufland, Esprit, Wöhrl Market value: € 200.1 million 1) 1) ausInvest holds a stake of h 99.99 % in the property. And this restructuring has paid off. On the day the mall reopened a new record was set with 40,000 visitors; in the meantime some 28,000 shoppers frequent the Regensburg Arcaden every day – nearly nine million a year, therefore. 40 per cent of the visitors use the glazed walkway – the lifeline uniting downtown Regensburg with the centre – so as to reach the mall. Thus the retailers in the town’s historical centre and Regensburg Arcaden benefit from one another. In addition, 20 new brands have been acquired as tenants. 27 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Aegean breeze blows along the shopping boulevard Forum Bornova Strolling beneath palm fronds from store to store before relaxing in a mild Mediterranean climate: This is what Forum Bornova shopping centre offers to residents of Izmir. With a population of 3.5 million, the city on the Aegean seaboard and its surrounding areas rank among Turkey’s most powerful regions in economic terms. Izmir, Turkey Bornova Center Forum Bornova is a shopping mall with boulevard character. Bright natural stone from the region and palm trees ensure a Mediterranean ambience. The shopping and leisure centre, which is located in the immediate vicinity of Izmir University campus, has attracted renowned national and international brands. Ikea and the Tesco-Kipa superstore alone – the two anchor tenants – have taken up floor-space equivalent in size to more than two and a half football fields. Added to this is a cinema complex with seven screens accommodating 1,100 cinemagoers, as well as 130 stores. Numerous restaurants and rooftop patios invite shoppers to relax after making their purchases – with many staying late into the evening. Constructed: 2006 Acquired: July 2005 Rental area: 62,071 m² Tenants: incl. Ikea, Tesco, Massimo Dutti Market value: € 184.4 million Orio Hotel, Bergamo, Italy Hotel & Logistics Eurotheum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany Life never stands still here. Logistics real estate and hotels are hubs. They unite people and markets – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Branches of industry that promise growth – for the world over people are becoming increasingly more mobile and global goods flows becoming ever bigger. 31 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Fascinating mixture of old and new Hotel de Rome Those who look over historic Berlin from the roof garden of the Hotel de Rome are treated to a mini tour of the city. Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island and the State Opera House – the view is simply unforgettable. Yet it is not just the location, but also the architecture of the building, which was erected in 1889 and extensively restructured in 2006, that is unique and also steeped in history. Built as the headquarters of Dresdner Bank, it was later home to the state bank of East Germany, and to this day the classical architecture has been retained in its original state whenever possible. Together with the contemporary interior design a fascinating mixture of old and new has been created. Berlin, Germany Behrenstrasse/Französische Strasse The five-star hotel, which is managed by the tenant Rocco Forte, impresses with its five-metre-high ceilings, marble columns, intricately designed skylights, ballroom and exclusive service. And as a special highlight guests can relax in the 20-metre swimming pool, which just like almost everything here has a special flair – it was once a strong room for jewels. Refurbished: 2006 Acquired: May 2007 Rental area: 14,385 m² Tenant: Rocco Forte Market value: € 78.8 million More information: Scan in the QR code and experience Hotel de Rome at first hand. 32 Blackfriars Road A foretaste of the hotel of the future London, Great Britain SE1, 44–49 Blackfriars Road The ambience is modern, the design stylish, and thanks to its technical fit-out this real estate on Blackfriars Road in London is probably one of the most modern hotel properties in the English capital. The sole tenant of the property, which was completed as recently as 2012, is the Accor Group, which shows in London’s keenly-fought hotel market how the companies intend to present their Novotel and Ibis brands in the coming years. Above all the four-star Novotel convinces with its state-of-the-art communications and entertainment electronics. Be it a virtual porter system, tablet computers in the restaurant or a life-sized wall projection of deep-sea underwater worlds by the pool – there is no excuse for boredom here. Yet the Ibis Hotel, which is geared to more price-conscious customers, sets new standards with its contemporary, fresh design. Constructed: 2012 Acquired: December 2010 Rental area: 15,497 m² Tenant: Accor Market value: £ 74.8 million The two hotels share the property in London’s trendy Southwark district yet work independently of one another. Synergies can nevertheless be used in daily operations – for example in the areas of technology, operation and personnel. 33 Office Retail Hotel & Logistics Green property under a blue wing Hermes Nord-Hub Internet buyers frequently only have to wait one day for their orders to arrive. The success of e-commerce is clear for all to see, and specialist service providers such as Hermes are the pioneers here. They organise the dispatch from the manufacturer’s warehouse to the customer’s door. Important features in the transport network are the hubs, such as the Hermes Nord-Hub in Langenhagen, near Hanover. The main feature here is the extremely favourable location from a traffic stance – the trucks reach the A 352 – and from here are able to reach all destinations – without passing through any towns or villages and with just one set of traffic lights. Hanover/Langenhagen, Germany Münchnerstrasse 39 But the construction of Nord-Hub was not just a question of location for Hermes, but also one of ecology. “Green logistics” is an important trend within the industry in the meantime and ultimately also an image factor. In this respect Hermes deploys a modern vehicle fleet and optimised route planning, as well as ensuring it has green buildings when constructing new logistics real estate such as Nord-Hub, which has been certified to the silver standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen – DGNB). In addition, a photovoltaic plant on the roof produces 355,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per annum and the heating system is a climate-neutral woodchip burner. Constructed: 2010 Acquired: January 2011 Rental area: 58,269 m² Tenant: Hermes Logistik Market value: € 23.3 million 34 At a glance Fund name: hausInvest Fund type: Open-ended real estate fund Management company: Commerz Real Investmentgesellschaft mbH Custodian bank: BNP PARIBAS Securities Services S.

In order to optimise yields, a maximum of 15 per cent of the real estate assets may be located outside Europe under the current investment strategy. In this respect great significance is attached to broad diversification in terms of locations and types of real estate, as well as to a healthy tenant mix. The fund management invests in high-quality commercial real estate with excellent value appreciation potential and with a focus on 1a locations. An active investment strategy is pursued so as to take into account in full the differing market cycles on the international real estate markets. Real estate at established and thus “mature” locations is sold in due course if beneficial to do so. The proceeds benefit attractive properties in new or rejuvenated locations. The investment strategy takes into account the current market situation and at the same time incorporates future developments. This strategy contributes to harmonising contrary market trends and permanently stabilising and optimising the earnings power of hausInvest. The young real estate portfolio also guarantees the marketability of the real estate. 35 The fund management pursues the principle of risk diversification. This forms the basis for stable returns. The wide geographical distribution as well as the excellent structure of the portfolio real estate by size categories and main types of usage minimise possible market risks. Furthermore, an excellent tenant industry mix increases the independence on economic fluctuations in individual business sectors. So as to take full account of the conservative orientation of hausInvest, foreign currency items are hedged virtually in full. In addition, the raising of borrowed capital to fund real estate investments is limited to a maximum of 30 per cent of the real estate assets. Liquid funds are held to serve share redemptions; these liquid funds bear interest on the money market for conservative liquidity investments. 36 Stockholm Malmö Greater Amsterdam/ Rotterdam Belfast Liverpool Hamburg Düsseldorf Greater London Berlin Hanover The Hague Brussels Rhine-Main Greater Paris Luxembourg Stuttgart Milan/ Bergamo Miami Prague Regensburg Vienna Munich Venice Orange Toulouse Aix-en-Provence Girona Lisbon Faro hausInvest – real estate in 18 countries on three continents Europe Asia Austria Belgium Czech Republic Finland France Germany Great Britain Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Poland Portugal Spain Sweden Turkey Japan Singapore North America USA Share of real estate assets Share of real estate assets at least maximum 85 % 15 % 37 Helsinki Warsaw Schweinfurt Fukuoka Izmir Singapore As of 31. 10. 2014 Are you already familiar with the new hausInvest app?
