State-awarded sustainability

The Austrian Ecolabel is a state seal of quality for sustainable finance products that make investments according to ecological and ethical-social guidelines. Therefore, the fund’s investments are also based on the climate-active basic or mandatory criteria for buildings.

Strict quality criteria

All properties are checked with regard to the use of climate-friendly building materials, energy efficiency and pollutant and noise emissions. In addition, the existing infrastructure and the users or tenants of the properties are assessed.

The investments of ERSTE RESPONSIBLE IMMOBILIENFONDS are oriented to the klimaaktiv basic or mandatory criteria for buildings. In addition, ERSTE Immobilien KAG's sustainability catalogue serves as a basis for decision-making.

Advantages for investors 

  • Investment in tangible assets (land).
  • The performance is regardless of stock exchange developments.
  • The real estate fund is a solid addition to existing portfolios and provides an opportunity for long-term asset building.
  • The sustainably focused fund invests in the residential sector as well as in social and public infrastructure properties only in Austria.
  • The investment offers protection from inflation. This is because rents are usually adjusted for inflation.
  • Suitable for regular investments with small amounts of money – with the s Fonds Plan. 
  • The real estate fund is suitable as security coverage for Austrian pension reserves (103,50 or 102,00 euros per share). 
  • The real estate fund is suitable for the assessment of the investment-related profit allowance.

Risks to be considered

  • Real estate values may fall and have a negative effect on fund performance.
  • Tenants may vacate, and properties or parts of properties may stay empty. 
  • This development can result in lower income as well as the suspension of payouts.
  • Investing in real estate funds may also result in a capital loss.
  • The issue and redemption of shares may be suspended in exceptional circumstances. 
  • Redeeming shares is still possible at the daily calculated value. ImmoKAG may amend the fund regulations so that a minimum holding period of one year and a redemption period of a further year (in addition) apply to redeeming share certificates. 
  • This could increase the risk of price changes. This is because the share value may, at the time of the irrevocable declaration of redemption, fall below the cost price or below the share value during the period until the share certificates are actually redeemed. 
  • Amending the fund rules to introduce the minimum holding period and redemption period would not take effect until one year after publication.
  • Due to legal requirements, the minimum holding period and the redemption period for all share certificate holders will come into force on 01/01/2027 at the latest. 
  • The recommended holding period is at least 5 years. 
  • Investing in real estate or real estate funds should be seen as a long-term investment.
