  • Subordinated real estate loans

    Subordinated real estate loans

    Subordinated loans as a complement to traditional financing
    In Switzerland, private real estate debt is increasingly establishing itself as an alternative form of real estate financing. This is mainly because structural changes in the traditional credit market and stricter regulations have led to traditional mortgage institutions becoming increasingly reluctant to lend capital. Private Real Estate Debt supplements the classic mortgage and is aimed at small and medium-sized real estate developers, among others, who are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain financing from traditional sources. Real estate companies and private property owners use this financing solution for reasons of yield optimization, freeing up capital and as a source of liquidity for asset reallocation. In any case, the financing is secured with subordinated promissory notes from Swiss real estate.

    The advantages for investors
     A regulated way is opening up for investors to invest in mortgage-backed loans. Credit checks and project security are of the utmost importance. Thanks to regular interest payments, the asset class has a fixed-income character related to the Swiss real estate market and only a low correlation to the stock markets.
