Press Release
Akara Diversity PK is one of the leading NAV-based, tax-exempt real estate funds for pension funds in Switzerland and can look back on a successful performance in the 2025 financial year. Shortly before its 10th anniversary, the fund exceeded the CHF 3 billion mark in portfolio volume for the first time as at 31 December 2025 and achieved a return on investment of 4.45%, comprised of a cash flow yield of 3.13% and capital growth of 1.32%. Since its launch in autumn 2016, the fund has generated cumulative excess returns of 8.49 percentage points over the KGAST Immo Index Mixed benchmark, underscoring the fund’s long-term competitiveness. Three capital increases in 2025 in a total volume of CHF 306 million further strengthened the equity base. They created the basis for targeted acquisitions and the further expansion of the project pipeline with an optimised balance sheet structure. A distribution of CHF 35.00 per unit was made on 24 April 2026, corresponding to a tax-exempt cash yield of 3.00% and a payout ratio of less than 100%. Investors now have another opportunity to participate in the fund.
17th capital increase in Akara Diversity PK for further sustainable growth
The subscription period for the 17th capital increase will run from Monday, 18 May to Friday, 12 June 2026, at 12:00 pm. The payment date for the fund units will be Friday, 26 June 2026. The aim of the increase is to secure a maximum issuing volume of 184’879 new units. Eleven (11) existing units entitle the bearer to one (1) new unit at the issue price on the payment date of CHF 1’162.00 each (including ancillary costs and issue commission). The issue will be carried out on a best-effort basis under a subscription offer to investors in Switzerland who are eligible under the terms of the fund contract. Unsubscribed units will not be issued.
Existing investors can exercise their subscription rights in respect of the capital increase. If any subscription rights remain unexercised, new investors will have the opportunity to participate in the fund. Investors can increase their chance of an allocation before the start of the subscription period by means of pre-commitments. The issue will also give existing investors the opportunity to reinvest the dividend paid out on 24 April 2026 without issue commission (ancillary cost charge remains).
Use of the capital
The capital raised will be used mainly to expand the portfolio in line with the strategy. Exclusive transaction opportunities have already been secured. In addition, ongoing projects are financed and, where possible, the borrowed capital ratio is reduced further.
