The Swisscanto (CH) Real Estate Fund Responsible IFCA slightly increased its rental income to CHF 43 million in the first half of 2025 (H1 2024: CHF 41.9 million). The rental loss rate fell further from an already low 1.7% to 1.5%. In addition to rent adjustments to the higher reference interest rate, the fund benefited from additional income from investments in existing properties. In the first half of 2025, a new building in Illnau (ZH), Kempttalstrasse 8-10, was acquired for CHF 18.0 million for the portfolio. The property is reportedly fully let and comprises 23 rental apartments.
At 5.1% in the first half of 2025, the fund's performance on the financial market significantly outperformed the benchmark (SWIIT Index) of 3.2%. At CHF 20.5 million, the net amount in the first half of the year was on a par with the same period of the previous year (CHF 20.6 million).
Strategically, the fund intends to continue to focus primarily on exploiting potential within the portfolio through development projects and optimal management. (aw)
