Sale of a real estate portfolio in Cologne to institutional investors

Lloyd Fonds AG has sold a portfolio of office and training properties in Cologne to institutional investors. The fund investors agreed to the sale with a majority of nearly 100 percent. Lloyd Fonds AG issued the fund "Immobilienportfolio Köln" in 2006. Two initially single-tenant properties were subdivided and converted into multi-tenant properties prior to the sale. The Lloyd Fonds AG real estate team also succeeded by fully leasing out all properties in the portfolio at significantly higher rents. These measures have now led to a higher selling price being achieved and thus a good return for the fund investors.

This is yet another successful real estate transaction generated by Lloyd Fonds AG. Only last year saw the sale of an office property in Eindhoven held by the "Holland Eindhoven" Property Fund and two hotel properties in Hamburg and on Sylt held by the "Businesshotel Hamburg/Ferienhotel Sylt" fund likewise to institutional investors. Altogether, the Lloyd Fonds AG real estate team has carried out real estate transactions and mediations with a total value of over EUR 400 million in the last four years.

Fund investors enjoy a total return of some 159 percent

Through the successful sale of the real estate portfolio in Cologne the fund investors will be receiving a capital return of some 111 percent. Together with the already rendered disbursements of some 48 percent, the capital return stands at some 159 percent, in each case based on the limited liability capital.

"The sale of the real estate portfolio is further proof of our real estate team's professional asset management and our excellent contacts with institutional investors. We have delivered a good result for our fund investors," says Jochen Sturtzkopf, Chief Sales Officer (CSO) of Lloyd Fonds AG.

Thanks to the profit-sharing arrangement, Lloyd Fonds AG will also benefit from the real estate sale. Klaus M. Pinter, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Lloyd Fonds AG: "Selling the real estate portfolio is a win-win situation for our fund investors and our company. Lloyd Fonds AG is indirectly involved in the earnings of the fund and the property companies via commissions and a profit-sharing arrangement. Once again, from this sale we will be generating an earnings contribution that will materialise mainly in the 2019 financial year."

In its current portfolio business, Lloyd Fonds AG is managing a portfolio of ship and real estate funds and also funds in other asset classes together with its partners. Lloyd Fonds AG expects the planned unwinding of the funds to generate further earnings contributions in 2020 and 2021 from service fees and profit contributions from the management of these portfolios.
