Press release

Zurich, 6 February 2025 – The fund management company is preparing to list the HSO Fund on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with trading starting on 11 February 2025. In this context, it has disclosed an indicative estimate of the net asset value (NAV) as of the end of 2024.

With regards to the listing of the HSO Fund, the fund management company has decided to provide an updated NAV estimate as of the end of 2024 in order to inform investors as best as possible within the regulatory requirements. The first trading day on the SIX Swiss Exchange remains set for 11 February 2025.

During advanced calculations for the annual financial statements, an indicative NAV for the end of 2024 was able to be determined. The fund management company currently assumes this to be between 6 and 7 percent below the value published on 30 June 2024. The reduction is due to the deduction from the disposals of properties communicated in the press release on 19 December 2024, the positive tax effects resulting from the transactions, the valuation result of the remaining portfolio and the income accrued in the fund.

The expected distribution for 2024 remains unchanged year on year at CHF 5.50 per unit, as already communicated on 19 December 2024.

With the current NAV estimate, the fund management company is offering investors a decision-making basis in the run-up to the HSO Fund’s initial public offering. This move will form the basis for the planned merger with the Helvetica Swiss Commercial Fund (HSC Fund) by mid-2025.

The annual report as at 31 December 2024 will be published for the HSO Fund on 5 March 2025.

The fund management company will issue information on further steps on a regular basis.
