Credit Suisse Asset Management Global Real Estate takes an uncompromising approach to real estate management. We only purchase real estate, real estate projects, and sites that meet our strict investment criteria. The specific investment criteria we apply depend on the profile of the investment vehicle for which the property is intended. Internationally, we focus on well-established markets or markets with growth potential, characterized by their liquidity, transparency and secure legal systems. While we prefer properties that can generate a strong and stable revenue, in select cases we will also consider properties for their growth potential.

Managing real estate in a sustainable manner is absolutely essential for us. Sustainability is an important criterion for any decision to buy or sell real estate. With new construction projects, we build in a sustainable manner and aim to achieve Swiss and international certifications. Existing properties are continually monitored and optimized in terms of energy efficiency, for example.
