Despite the temporary suspension of subscriptions and redemptions for the fund, professional portfolio management for the fund will continue in a normal way.
The OP-Public Services Real Estate Fund focuses on real estate that supports services critical to the functioning of society. Its investment targets include a wide range of properties from schools to public administration buildings and senior service apartments. The fund is particularly suitable for long-term investors who seek higher returns than the bond market and accept the risks associated with illiquid investments.
The OP- Public Services Real Estate fund has over 50 investment targets located in the Helsinki metropolitan area, university cities, regional centers, and their commuting areas. The fund also acts as a property developer. Most of the properties have been completed or renovated in recent years, so there is hardly any repair debt. Tenants typically take care of the maintenance of the property and its costs. The fund's return mainly comes from long-term leases, usually 10 to 15 years, supporting a stable cash flow. Please note that assets cannot be withdrawn from the fund daily. Buy orders for fund units are executed four times a year and sell orders twice a year.
Sustainability factors influence the investment decisions of the OP-Public Services Real Estate fund. The fund favors energy-efficient building solutions and the use of renewable energy. New targets are built within the existing urban structure, and where possible, old buildings are converted for new purposes.
