Our Pluswert funds primarily invest in high-quality, leased retail and mixed-use properties in Germany, such as retail parks, self-service department stores, and home improvement stores.

The Hahn Group's Pluswert funds are aimed at well-informed and affluent individual investors who typically maintain a highly diversified investment portfolio.

The minimum subscription amounts are generally 20,000 euros or 200,000 euros for private placements.

Since 1982, the Hahn Group has focused its activities on large-format retail, as this real estate class is characterized by long-term tenant commitment to a given location and stable demand. Tenants rarely give up their locations; and this is typically only considered in the event of a retailer’s strategic withdrawal from the respective local market. Consequently, a sustainable occupancy rate can be assumed. Large-scale retail properties, in particular, are subject to specific building code regulations that make them very attractive as investment properties.

Closed-end real estate funds are generally classified as alternative investment funds (AIFs) and are subject to the authorization requirements and supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The legislature has mandated a wide range of investor protection measures for closed-end real estate AIFs. These primarily relate to the prospectus, which, for example, must include detailed and clearly visible risk disclosures. The management companies are typically independent providers (initiators) and are therefore not subject to any other conflicts of interest. Within the Hahn Group, the capital management company is DeWert. .

Successful big-box retail locations are characterized by their geographic location. In addition to good transportation infrastructure, they must also have a large catchment area, among other factors. However, the retail purchasing power of potential customers is also a key factor. These factors are present not only in large cities with over 100,000 residents but also in small and medium-sized cities. In these locations in particular, the lower land prices often result in a more attractive risk/return profile compared to large cities. Successful locations are particularly well-suited to the regional context and are therefore not dependent on traditional prime locations, as is often the case in the office or residential sectors. In most cases, so-called B or C locations offer a better risk-reward ratio.

Capital management companies are firms whose business operations are focused on managing domestic investment funds, EU investment funds, or foreign investment funds. The Hahn Group has established its own independent capital management company (DeWert Deutsche Wertinvestment GmbH) to perform these tasks. In 2014, DeWert received authorization from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to operate as a capital management company (KVG) in accordance with Sections 18, 20, and 22 of the German Capital Investment Fund Act (KAGB). In February 2016, DeWert received an extension of its license from BaFin to launch „general open-ended domestic special AIFs.“ This additional license and the resulting expansion of the product range opened up opportunities to attract new clients and investor groups.
