Open-ended real estate funds – a solid foundation

We are active worldwide as an investor, lessor and asset manager. We manage our diverse property portfolio in all phases of the real estate life cycle responsibly, in accordance with sustainability criteria. In addition to steadily reducing the overall energy consumption and CO2 emissions of our buildings by using smart data technologies, for example, our main focus is on systematically continuing our certification strategy. This focus makes Deka Immobilien one of the largest German portfolio holders of certified sustainable buildings.

Our funds for retail clients

With our open-ended real estate funds, we offer retail investors the opportunity to invest even small amounts in a broadly diversified real estate portfolio that is actively managed by us. We pool our experience in five real estate funds with different geographical investment focuses. Investors can choose from global and regional concepts focusing on Europe or North America. Our product range is rounded off by the innovative Deka-Immobilien Nordamerika concept, which is currently the sole German real estate mutual fund focusing on North America.

Detailed information on all of Deka's open-ended real estate funds can be found on the website:

About Deka-ImmobilienNordamerika (only in German)

Material opportunities

The fund’s attractive real estate investments and professional real estate management create the opportunity for investors to receive attractive long-term returns and regular income.
The risk of the fund properties is broadly spread across countries, locations, tenants and types of use with the aim of smoothing returns.
Funds provide an opportunity to make flexible investments in real estate even with small amounts of capital.
Due to a partial exemption for real estate funds, part of the income from these funds is tax-exempt.*

Material risks

The risks that real estate is typically exposed to can lead to a reduction in real estate values or the regular income received by the fund (e.g. lost rent, occupancy ratio).
Liquidity investments and debt-financed real estate are subject to interest rate risk.
Investments outside the eurozone are still subject to the residual risk of foreign currency losses even if strategic hedging is used.
Applicable statutory periods and the risk of a suspension of redemptions due to insufficient liquidity could adversely affect the opportunities for redeeming units, even though they remain subject to the risk of price changes.
