Zurich, 1 November 2023 – The Helvetica Swiss Opportunity Fund (HSO Fund) is scheduled to be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in the first half of 2024. The merger with the Helvetica Swiss Commercial Fund (HSC Fund) is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.

  • HSO Fund to be listed in the first half of 2024
  • Merger between the HSC Fund and the HSO Fund is planned by the end of 2024
  • Consolidation creates greater liquidity and better tradeability for investors
  • New HSC Fund offers a broadly diversified investment instrument of over CHF 1 billion with stable earnings

The listing of the HSO Fund is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024 and the merger by the end of 2024. This is subject to approval by FINMA and the SIX Swiss Exchange. The formal preliminary application to FINMA should be submitted before the end of 2023.

As a result of the planned merger, the new HSC Fund is expected to achieve a portfolio worth more than CHF 1 billion. The aim of the merger is to offer potential and existing investors a solid investment instrument with appropriate returns. Due to its size and diversification, the new HSC Fund is intended to create a higher level of liquidity and a stronger presence in the SXI Real Estate Funds Broad Index for investors. The HSC Fund’s current investors will benefit from greater risk diversification by combining the two portfolios. HSO Fund investors benefit primarily from the daily liquidity and structurally more diversified portfolio of the new fund.

“Broad discussions with our investors support our belief that the listing of the HSO Fund and the merger of the two investment funds is the way forward for the successful further development of our commercial funds,” says Hans. R. Holdener, CEO of Helvetica.

The fund manager will provide information on the next steps on an ongoing basis. Further information on the planned listing and merger is available from the fund manager.
