Strategy and Business Model

Strategy

The integrated business model covers the value chain over the entire life cycle of a property. The core elements are portfolio/asset management with in-house property management, site development and transaction management for the continuous optimisation of the portfolio, and implementation of the capital-recycling strategy.

The investment strategy focuses on residential, commercial and industrial properties in core economic regions and future-oriented growth regions in German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland.

The investment property portfolio is continuously expanded by means of the realisation of development projects and their transfer to the portfolio, as well as by targeted acquisitions of high-yielding investment properties. The aim is to achieve broad-based and stable rental income from the yielding portfolio, and thus a continuously growing dividend base. HIAG concentrates on selected development properties in sustainable locations and an advantageous risk/return profile. The transaction business offers attractive potential for profit, and enables effective capital recycling. The sale of existing and development properties that no longer align with the strategy generates significant funds, which flow into the realisation of high-yield development projects as well as the acquisition of high-quality properties.

HIAG's access to the capital market as a listed company and its rock-solid balance sheet paired with an anchor shareholder base that is focused on the long term give it significant economic clout. Developments on the market are proactively exploited with an entrepreneurial corporate culture, short decision-making processes and a qualified workforce.

As a responsible company, HIAG creates economic, ecological and social added value and pursues an investor-friendly dividend policy.
