Swiss Life Asset Managers offers selected investment strategies for investments in various real estate asset classes
ESG European thematic income and growth strategy
- Swiss Life Asset Managers invests in commercial properties in locations positioned to attract demand due to structural change.
- When selecting a location, we consider changes in the thematic areas of disruption, climate and environment, communities and grouping, consumers and lifestyle as well as connectivity.
- The focus is on key European countries as well as smaller established markets (The Nordics, Benelux, Southern Europe, Ireland, Austria).
European balanced strategy investment
programme
- Swiss Life Asset Managers offers clients balanced investment strategies in the area of real estate.
- We invest in European properties in the office, residential, industrial and logistics, retail and health care asset classes.
ESG European industrial and logistics strategy
- We invest in a distribution-oriented portfolio with industrial and logistics properties.
- The focus is on real estate investments in Germany, France, the UK, Switzerland and the Benelux countries.
- By combining small-scale industrial properties with large-scale logistics properties, we achieve broad market coverage with above-average returns and below-average earnings volatility.
- The strategy has a defensive orientation, which institutional investors appreciate in the current market environment.
- As industrial and logistics properties will benefit from various megatrends in the coming years, we anticipate significant growth potential.
ESG European healthcare strategy
- Swiss Life Asset Managers invests in healthcare properties and exploits the growing demand for nursing homes due to demographic change (higher life expectancy).
- Our goal is stable returns through indexed long-term leases with experienced operators.
- As the strategy is based less on economic than on demographic developments, it is more resilient to changes in the market.
- We diversify the portfolio among European countries, operators and sub-sectors. The focus is on France and Germany.
European hotel strategy
- Swiss Life Asset Managers invests in hotel properties according to a bottom-up approach. It combines the detailed analysis of the property with that of the region.
- Our focus is on 3 and 4-star hotels close to the centre with a balanced business and tourism clientele.
European retail strategy
- Swiss Life Asset Managers invests in retail properties in stable European economies.
- As the supply of real estate in shopping areas of major cities is becoming increasingly limited, this investment has a defensive bias.
- We are diversifying our retail real estate strategy by combining northern and southern regions.
