There is a lot to do with direct investments in real estate.

The real estate funds and real estate investment groups of the Swisscanto Investment Foundation are suitable for portfolio diversification.

How you can benefit from real estate investment products

Attractive return opportunities

We invest in residential and commercial properties that generate attractive long-term returns based on our careful analysis and management.

Higher liquidity

The real estate funds and real estate investment groups of the investment foundations offer higher liquidity than individual investments in real estate.

Appropriate diversification

The prices of real estate investment products generally correlate little with other asset classes. That's why they are suitable for portfolio diversification.
