With its CEE portfolio, IMMOFINANZ Group was rated first for return in the
annual benchmark comparison by Investment Property Database (IPD). The
total return on the East European properties owned by IMMOFINANZ equalled
10.2% in 2012. This IPD study covered 49 portfolios in the CEE region.
For the overall return on its CEE properties from 2010 to 2012, IMMOFINANZ
also received the 'IPD Property Investment Award in Central & Eastern
Europe for balanced funds'. The IMMOFINANZ portfolio generated an average
return of 10.9% over this three-year period. The IPD calculation for the
total portfolio return includes rental income (net cash flow return) and
the increase in the value of the properties.
'We see these results and the recognition by IPD as confirmation of our
progress in optimising our CEE portfolio. The value increase component in
this three-year return calculation documents our realistic-conservative
valuation during the crisis, while the rental return underscores the
success of our active asset management and intensive local customer
service. Both factors point out the correctness of our strategy to continue
and increase our focus on the emerging markets in Eastern Europe', comments
Eduard Zehetner, CEO of IMMOFINANZ Group. The Group's real estate portfolio
of approx. EUR 10.5 billion is located nearly one-half each in Eastern and
Western Europe.
IPD, an MSCI brand, produces performance analyses for real estate and
prepares related indexes for national real estate markets. These indexes
are based on reports by the individual real estate companies and are
updated each year. In the CEE region, the IPD Index covers roughly
one-third of the total real estate market.
