FAQ Portfolio Development
The current challenging environment of yields coming under pressure in the real estate sector as well as increasing regulatory requirements (ESG, CRR III, Solvency, etc.) increases the necessity to deal with the active management of one's own portfolios. It is advisable to sharpen the focus on risks and potential returns in the portfolio in order to be able to ensure the desired target return. A holistic view of the property from a technical, economic and regulatory perspective helps to identify those measures that have the greatest leverage for achieving the return targets and maintaining value in the long term.
On the one hand, rising interest rates mean that alternative asset classes such as bonds are becoming more attractive and real estate investments have to face this competition in asset allocation. On the other hand, they lead to higher financing costs, which can lead to correspondingly lower returns on equity. This affects real estate investments in particular, which are often financed with a considerable amount of debt capital.
It is therefore advisable to already take a look at the time of the end of the fixed interest rate period and to simulate the possible effects on the yield level due to the changed interest rate level on the portfolio performance.
In addition, due to the current economic conditions, it can be assumed that the interest rate level will remain at a higher level in the future, which could possibly lead to devaluations of the properties concerned and thus to losses in value.
The EU taxonomy defines which economic activities can be classified as environmentally sustainable. Therefore, ESG criteria are also becoming more and more important in the real estate industry due to regulatory and legal requirements. The real estate industry is thus faced with the major task of focusing on the transformation of its portfolios towards greater sustainability. It is therefore advisable to identify today the point in time when individual properties and portfolios no longer comply with the requirements of the German Climate Protection Act and the Paris Climate Agreement with regard to the specified CO2 emissions and become so-called "stranded assets". This can pose a high risk for future transactions, new leases or financing, as the affected properties may continuously depreciate or, in the worst case, no longer find tenants and buyers on the commercial real estate market and are thus no longer tradable.
