This fund makes the benefits of real estate as an asset class – steady, predictable returns, low risk and low correlation to equities and bonds – accessible to a wider group of institutional investors
The fund is managed by Union Investment Real Estate GmbH. With assets under management of some 18 billion euros and a portfolio of about 250 properties in Europe, the Americas and Asia, Union Investment Real Estate is one of Europe’s leading property investment management companies.
There is a special focus on low risk and generating good returns, making the fund an especially appropriate choice when it comes to structuring the overall risk/opportunity profile of an investment strategy.

Investors who have chosen the fund include banks, pension funds, insurance companies and leading industrial enterprises.
