Main Features:
Fractional Ownership
Investors can buy shares in homes, businesses, or properties that are used for both.
Professional Management
The SPV takes care of the property’s operations, upkeep, and relationships with tenants.
Compliance:
SPVs make sure that they follow the law and the rules for property in Switzerland.
Investors can get high-quality assets with lower capital requirements this way, and they can also benefit from potential rental income and capital appreciation.
Buying and Selling SPV Shares
The secondary market lets investors buy and sell real estate shares, which makes the market more liquid than it usually is. Some important considerations are:
Exit Strategies
Investors can sell their shares to other people on the platform or make private deals. This gives you the freedom to rebalance your portfolio or move your money around.
Pricing Mechanisms
The value of the underlying property, rental income, market demand, and SPV performance all affect the price of shares. Investors can make smart trading decisions when valuations are clear.
Market Accessibility
Platforms like CapiWell make it easy to buy and sell shares, so both individual and institutional investors can invest in Swiss real estate without having to own an entire property.
Pros of a Secondary Market
There are a number of benefits to buying real estate shares on a secondary market:
Liquidity
Investors can buy or sell positions without having to sell the whole property, which makes capital more flexible.
Diversification
By buying shares in more than one SPV, you can get exposure to residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties in Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, and Basel.
Less Risk
Co-ownership spreads the financial and operational risk among several investors.
Accessibility
Smaller investors can buy high-value real estate that would normally require a lot of money.
Considerations for Investors
When buying and selling real estate shares on the secondary market, investors should think about:
Quality of the Property
Look for SPVs that own high-quality, well-located properties with stable tenants and strong rental income.
Platform Reputation
Using well-known crowd-investing platforms makes sure that everything is run correctly, is transparent, and follows the rules.
Market Timing
Share liquidity may change based on demand and the state of the market as a whole. Investors should plan their exits carefully.
ESG Alignment
SPVs with properties that are energy-efficient or environmentally friendly may get more buyers, which will increase the liquidity and long-term value of the shares.
For example, a Swiss SPV owning a mixed-use property in Zurich might have:
- Residential units that bring in steady rental income.
- Office and retail spaces that add to the cash flow.
Investors can buy shares on a secondary platform with less money or sell them without having to sell the whole building.
These kinds of structures are appealing to both private and institutional investors because they offer flexible access, liquidity, and a range of returns.
Looking Ahead
More investors are looking for property investments that are easy to sell, flexible, and in line with their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. This trend will likely lead to growth in the secondary market for real estate shares. An expanding range of platforms will make it easier to trade SPVs, which will let more people buy premium Swiss real estate and make the process more open and efficient.
The result: Property investment is more accessible. Investors can buy into Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, and other Swiss real estate markets without having to own an entire property.
Final Thoughts
The secondary market for real estate shares is changing the way people invest in Swiss property by making it easier to buy and sell shares. Investors can own pieces of high-value properties, trade shares strategically, and make exit plans without having to own a whole asset through SPVs and crowd-investing platforms.
Investors can get exposure to a wide range of residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties through this market. They also get professional management, transparency, and the opportunity to create long-term value. The secondary market is a big step forward for people who want to invest in Swiss real estate in a more flexible way.
