Asset security with German residential real estate
ZBI Professional 7
Over 7,000 investors have decided on a fund of the ZBI Professional Line in the past nine years and placed their trust in our concept for capital formation. They include a large number of clients who have remained loyal to our strategy of providing a solid and profitable return ever since making their first investment in a closed-end ZBI real estate fund.
Since 2002 we have invested over 1.2 billion euro in the ZBI Professional 1 to 6 funds in close consultation with our stakeholders. We now intend to continue this success story with ZBI Professional 7 and give you the opportunity to be part of a high-return investment form.
The performance of the ZBI Professional Funds to date speaks for itself: Funds 1 and 2 produced, depending on the nature of the investment, results between 14.1% and 15.5% per year. Both funds have now been sold and a final and satisfactory audit carried out by the fiscal authorities.
Investors in ZBI Professional 7 will profit on a sustained basis from the successful course adopted by the ZBI Group, namely acquiring residential real estate in German cities with strong growth potential at favourable prices.
The seven advantages the ZBI Professional 7 offer you
• Asset protection
• A purchasing price practice that is the key to attractive returns
• Everything under one ZBI umbrella
• Investor control
• The ‘client first principle’
• Refund of the agio
• ZBI - your experienced partner
1. Asset protection
Particularly in times of uncertainty, investing in residential real estate proves to be a stable investment form. The real estate funds of the ZBI Professional Line earn attractive returns as tangible assets and protect your asset value in the long term as well.
Residential real estate is a stable and attractive investment form.
2. A purchasing price practice that is the key to attractive returns
A diversity of acquisition possibilities enables the ZBI Group to buy German real estate with potential for value increase at comparatively favourable prices. Its efficient network and good reputation give the ZBI Group access to attractive offers in a climate of increasing competition.
The many years of experience and good connections of the ZBI Group are together the decisive prerequisite for buying attractive properties.
3. Everything under one ZBI umbrella
Managing and developing the properties acquired is entirely steered by the ZBI Group: After the ZBI Group has assumed responsibility for a property as its new owner, it will modernise the building where necessary. Its own management company ensures satisfied tenants and a high occupancy rate. The value of the property increases.
The ZBI Group steers the real estate from start to finish with its own staff of over 180.
4. You as the investor decide
Each individual property that meets the stringent investment criteria laid down by the ZBI Group is first presented to the investors by the fund management. This so-called “first look” right ensures that all real estate acquired by the ZBI Group is first offered to the stakeholders. The investors themselves or an investor advisory board elected by them meet to decide on purchase and sale of fund real estate.
The “first look” right gives the investors the last word on buying and selling the properties.
5. The ‘Client First Principle’
The success of the initiator ZBI is essentially performance based in that it is only when the prospectus-based capital account interest of 7.5 per cent and repayment of the invested capital (plus the five-per-cent agio) are fully assured that ZBI begins to share in sales proceeds. This ensures that the interests of the investors on the one hand and those of the Initiator on the other are evenly balanced. All profits remaining after a sale are equally shared between the investors and the ZBI Group.
First the investors will receive the returns pledged in the prospectus and only then will the ZBI Group receive its shares of the capital gain.
6. Refund of the agio
Likewise, the handling of the five-percent agio is to the advantage of the investors as it is treated on a par with limited partner’s capital for the purposes of preferred profit allocation to the investors and is refunded when the investment company is dissolved.
The five-percent agio will be refunded when the investment company is dissolved.
7. ZBI – your experienced partner
The ZBI Group is an experienced company with wide competence in the area of residential real estate. The Erlangen-based company has offered closed-end real estate funds since 2002. When acquiring portfolio properties in selected German cities and conurbations our specialists at the ZBI Group can rely on the support of an efficient network. The ZBI Group currently manages over 14,000 apartments. The overall investment volume of the ZBI Professional Funds 1-6 is around 1.2 billion euro.
