The Dominicé Swiss Property Fund is a listed fund launched in 2014, offering investors direct access to the residential real estate market in French-speaking Switzerland. The portfolio focuses primarily on rental properties located in attractive urban centers, recognized for the quality of their construction and their resilience to economic cycles.
Strategy
The objective is to generate positive risk-adjusted returns in Swiss francs while protecting assets against inflation.
The fund follows a defensive investment strategy focused on income-generating residential properties. Active management emphasizes ongoing renovation and asset enhancement to ensure steady income growth.
As a result, priority is given to properties with development or densification potential, thereby contributing to the portfolio’s sustainable performance.
Active Management and Value Creation
Our multidisciplinary real estate management team consists of property experts with diverse backgrounds in property management, construction, and asset valuation. This structure allows us to swiftly capitalize on opportunities in the Swiss real estate market.
Throughout the entire lifecycle of our properties, we actively seek development opportunities to enhance and preserve the value of our portfolio, ensuring long-term profitability.
Tax Advantages*
The fund has adopted a direct property ownership approach. This strategy ensures that unitholders residing in Switzerland are exempt from income tax and wealth tax. Only income from movable investments and the movable portion of the fund’s assets are taxed at the unitholder level. This exemption is possible because the fund itself covers all associated tax costs, allowing it to benefit from more favorable tax rates than those typically applied to individual taxpayer. This is a important advantage for Swiss domiciled investors, as it allows them to maximise their returns while reducing their tax burden.
*Tax rules are complex and anyone investing in the fund should obtain independent professional tax advice.
