retail fund we have yet to launch. We have already received encouraging
feedback from potential investors."
In addition to office property, the company also demonstrates a long-term
track record in the retail usage category. Indeed, DIC Asset has proven
retail expertise in selecting suitable retail assets, as well as in buying
and letting them. Great contacts to a number of leading retail multiples in
Germany (including Metro Group, H&M, C&A, P&C, SinnLeffers, among others)
help to identify tenant leads of first-rate credit worthiness. The overall
portfolio under DIC's management adds up to 250,000 sqm of retail area,
occupied by roughly 275 retail tenants.
In addition to the purchase just transacted, DIC Asset has already spent 77
million euros on property acquisitions this year to date. This means that
nearly 300 million euros have already been committed out of a target volume
of 400 to 450 million euros earmarked for the investment fund division of
DIC Asset in 2016. The assets under the management of the fund division,
which are administrated on behalf of third-party AIF management companies,
currently add up to c. 1.2 billion euros.
Aydin Karaduman: "We have kept expanding our fund business with much
success. As a result, the income of DIC Asset will have two major sources
in the future: One is the fund business, and the other being the rental
income from our commercial portfolio."
