Institutional Funds

At SachsenFonds we think that in an ever-changing world, where ideas overcome traditional borders quicker than ever, private investors and institutional investors are only “two sides of the same coin”.

That´s why we have decided to leverage our investment management expertise and also deliver our services to institutional investors.

Since the end of 2004 SachsenFonds employs a dedicated team working on funds for institutional investors. Currently, the team is concentrating on providing services to institutional funds in the procurement of assets, asset management and the administration of asset holding companies all over Europe and – most of all – on providing good quality fund stories to interested investors:

SachsenFonds is co-asset manager for the Luxembourg-based Aviva Central European Property Fund (ACEPF), a EUR 600 million fund dedicated to invest in real estate in Central Europe. This fund, having invested more than EUR 400 million in less than 12 months in prime properties in Poland, Czech, Hungary and Romania, has been hugely successful with investors as well as in the whole real estate investment community and has won two of the prestigious CEE Quality Awards for the year 2005, Investor of the Year as well as Outstanding Company of the Year.

Also in 2006, SachsenFonds has brought to the market a fund for international institutional investors investing in German retail properties, the GRIP Fund. This fund which is also based in Luxembourg, us again set-up jointly with the London-based fund management firm Morley Fund Management (UK) who are already our partners in the ACEPF, thereby proving the useful synergies and good cooperation with our partners. Watch out for this EUR 300 million fund which will offer solid investment in German quality retail!

The third institutional fund which also arised in collaboration with Morley Fund Management was launched at the end of 2007. This LogAxes Fund is focussed on investments in logistics and industrial properties, to capitalise on the active and growing logistics markets of Germany, Austria and Central Europe and the increasing demand for high-quality warehouses. The EUR 450 million fund will be invested with more than EUR 100 million until the end of the first quarter in 2008. The LogAxes Fund offers a very good opportunity to participate in this high profitable asset class.
