Investment products for direct real estate investments

There is a lot to do with direct investments in real estate. With our investment products, you can invest directly in Swiss real estate without having to worry about searching for properties or maintenance and letting. 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

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

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

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