Die monatlichen Zuflüsse sind seit über einem Jahr durchgängig negativ.

Fund resolutions and liquidity bottlenecks

Due to the ongoing returns, several providers close their funds. For example, a British asset manager has its three real estate funds for private investors with a volume of 1,8 Billions of pounds dissolved. Other fund companies also, including international providers, Give products up, Since this has not reached the required size or profitability. In many cases it is exactly the private investors, die über Rückgabewünsche den Liquiditätsdruck erhöhen und damit eine Schließung erzwingen.

Returns decrease, Evaluation problems burden the trust

The returns of open real estate funds are very declining. Individual products have recently hardly achieved any earnings, In some there were significant depreciation on property values. The regular, but not up -to -date evaluation of real estate leads to this, that investors often deduct capital as a precaution, Before possible value corrections take place. Diese Verzögerung in der Preisbildung mindert das Vertrauen der Anleger zusätzlich.

Challenges in office properties and environmental requirements

There are also stricter energy efficiency- and environmental guidelines, die Investitionen in den Gebäudebestand erforderlich machen – was sich negativ auf die Rentabilität auswirkt.

B. the acquisition of real estate in certain geographical regions or a certain market segmentation (z. B. Commercial real estate, Residential real estate, Logistical mobil). These decisions are based on market analyzes, Trends und der Einschätzung des Managers getroffen.

• flexibility: A discretionary real estate fund can also react faster to market changes, Since the fund manager does not have to wait for investors to be approved, To make investments. This is particularly advantageous, When there are opportunities on the market, die schnell genutzt werden müssen.

• Example: A real estate fund, which invests in office buildings in large European cities, could decide, to invest in the short term in aspiring markets such as the Baltic States, wenn er dort attraktive Renditen erwartet.

2. Non-discretionary real estate fund (non-discreetly real estate funds)

• Role of the fund manager: The fund manager has the task, to implement the instructions of the investors, without making decisions independently. That means, that the fund manager has no flexibility, To react quickly to market opportunities or risks. Jede Investition oder Transaktion muss von den Investoren genehmigt werden.

• Example: A real estate fund, Define with the investor, that investments can only be made in new buildings of residential properties in Germany, and the fund manager must adhere to these requirements precisely. Der Fondsmanager könnte auch nur bei konkreten Anfragen oder zur Genehmigung von Immobilienkäufen und -verkäufen tätig werden.

• Risk and reward: In a non-discreet fund, investors have more control, but also more responsibility, Since they directly influence the strategies and decisions. The risk is more with the investors, da sie die Verantwortung für die strategischen Entscheidungen tragen.

The Federal Agency for Financial Service Supervision (Bafin) Has made new clarifications ( Download). These affect capital management companies in particular (Kvgs), The one to the investment network (Kagb) unterliegen.

Why is this leaflet relevant?

The leaflet defines the limits, within which investors may influence investment decisions, without this having to violate regulatory requirements. Dabei steht insbesondere die Abgrenzung zwischen zulässiger Einflussnahme und unzulässiger Steuerung durch Anleger im Fokus.

In this context, the Bafin clarifies, that the management of investment assets is exclusively the task of the KVG. Investors - including supervised banks and insurers - can express wishes or make suggestions, However, this must not lead to this, dass die KVG ihre unabhängige Entscheidungsbefugnis verliert.

Legal framework and documentation obligations

A central reference point of the leaflet is § 17 Kagb, according to which investment assets must always be managed by a KVG. Investors therefore have no direct control option, but only limited influence opportunities. Too extensive influence could even lead to this, that no investment assets within the meaning of § 1 Abs. 1 KAGB mehr vorliegt.

Bafin also emphasizes the need to document such influencing. The KVGs are obliged, to capture any permissible investor participation, To ensure and prove transparency, that she continues to make decisions independently. However, the documentation required for this should not cause a considerable additional effort, Since they are already under § 28 KAGB geregelt sind.

What does this mean for capital management companies and investors?

1. Capital management companies must preserve their autonomy: Every investor participation should be checked and documented critically, um aufsichtsrechtliche Verstöße zu vermeiden.
2. Investors have limited say: Influence is possible, but must not lead to it, dass die KVG ihre Position als unabhängiger Verwalter verliert.
3. Documentation as a security mechanism: Eine ordnungsgemäße Aufzeichnung schützt sowohl die KVG als auch die Anleger und ermöglicht eine transparente Nachverfolgbarkeit der Entscheidungen.

Conclusion

The draft of the Bafin comrade creates more clarity in terms of the permissible influence of investors on investment decisions. KVGs should check their internal processes, whether they meet the requirements. You can ensure by precise documentation, dass ihre Entscheidungsprozesse im Rahmen des KAGB bleiben und unangemessene Anlegerbeeinflussung vermieden wird.
