Ad hoc announcement according to article 53 KR, February 08, 2022

Zurich, February 08, 2022 - The Helvetica Swiss Commercial Fund (HSC Fund) increases the rental income by 8.2% in 2021 based on unaudited results.

The fund management company looks back on a successful financial year for the HSC Fund. The fund is fully invested and the acquisitions from the previous year contributed to full year income for the first time. This led to an 8.2% increase in rental and building lease income from CHF 38.8 million to CHF 42.0 million. The market value of the real estate portfolio increased by 0.8% to CHF 750 million at the end of the previous year. This increase was mainly achieved through successful lettings and dedicated asset management.
Due to various acquisitions in the financial year 2020 and the associated one-off revaluations, the return on investment was 6.9%. Since no acquisitions were made in 2021, the net income was slightly higher and resulted in correspondingly lower revaluations, leading to a return on investment of 5.4% in 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the fund comprises 35 properties with a total leasable area of over 300,000 m2. For further information on the HSC Fund, please refer to the HSC Fund factsheet as of December 31, 2021. The annual report will be published on March 15, 2022.
