Many of the Fund houses whose reputation has suffered under the plight of the ship Fund, have oriented new – also with a view to the distribution methods. So, the Dr. Peters Group in Dortmund is cooperating with the swarm of financing platform and interest rate module.
“Closed-end funds can be drawn on top of us now purely digital,” says Volker Wohlfarth, managing Director of interest-rate block, the F. A.

In addition, so-called club deals for high net worth individuals are in the offer, which must invest at least 50,000 euros in a project.
participation even with small amounts possible
small investors on the other hand, on the interest component already with small amounts in real estate projects. The runs on subordinated loans, whose risk of loss is high. So far, the platform has attracted investments totalling more than EUR 75 million and about half of them paid back. Example: 419, investors have a total controls one Million euros for the renovation of a Lidl-market in Dannenberg in lower Saxony, which was paid in March 2020 to 15 months. The annual interest rate amounted to 5.25 per cent. In a subordinated bond flowed investors ‘ money was only a small part of the total financing of the project in the amount of 11.7 million euros. The majority came from a Bank loan of 9.5 million euros, 1.2 million euros were equity of the project company.

The platform provides no investment advice, either for closed-end funds for the swarm of projects. However, interest module analyzes the offered real estate projects, and provides a transparent representation and selection on its website. Investors do not pay any direct fees or issue premiums for the swarm of projects, because the interest component receives fees from the project developers. In view of the manageable investment amounts starting at 500 Euro, investors can participate in many different projects, instead of focusing everything on a single card. This protects against cluster risks. “Other platforms even allow you to significantly lower the minimum amounts, but from our point of view economically,” says Wohlfarth.
