Real estate Switzerland
Real estate makes up a significant proportion of our investments. We invest directly in existing buildings, plots of land for construction and projects in Switzerland. These offer a stable return on our investment and so help to safeguard pensions.
Prime locations are the hallmark of our properties
Our properties are mainly located in urban centres and easily accessible suburbs, as well as along main traffic routes. We are looking to expand our portfolio.
We are looking for properties in German- and French-speaking Switzerland
