Profile
Holland Immo Group (HIG), a top-10 provider of closed-end real estate investment funds for private investors, was founded in 2001. HIG has built up over ten years market experience and has thus become a solid and reliable provider of real estate investment products. HIG currently initiates German retail funds in the Netherlands -since the end of 2007- in Germany.
Over the past ten years, HIG has initiated 21 real estate investment funds with an aggregate investment volume of approximately 680 million euro.

From the existing real estate portfolio under management of 580 million euro, some 180 million euro has been invested in German inner-city retail warehouse centres, the remaining portfolio consist of retail and residential real estate located in The Netherlands. The management and its team consists of professionals with many years experience in the field of initiating and managing real estate investment funds, such as financial, tax, legal, property and asset management, investor relations and investment reporting. HIG has acquired a license from the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM) under the Act on Financial Supervision (Wft), which allows HIG to offer participations in funds amounting to less than 50,000 euro to the public. Holland Immo Group and its funds are therefore subject to permanent supervision by the AFM. The prospectus of a fund is subject to approval by the AFM and the Transparency Foundation Real Estate Funds Real Estate Funds (STV). The STV is an independent private organization which reviews the prospectus information on specific real estate related topics. Holland Immo Group is co-initiator of the trade organization of suppliers of real estate investment funds for private investors, Forumvast. TThis organization represents currently about 60% of the market of suppliers. Manfred Kühl, chairman of Holland Immo Group, is vice-president of Forumvast. In addition, he is member of the Advisory Board of the STV. Finally, Holland Immo Group is the first investment company in the Netherlands which has obtained an Investment Rating from Scope Group Germany on behalf of its latest fund, Winkelvastgoedfonds Duitsland 5 NV, resulting in an A-rating. Additionally HIG is subject to Management Rating. Scope Group, one of the leading financial analysis and advisory firms in Germany with offices in Berlin and Frankfurt am Main, has recently opened an office in Amsterdam, Scope Netherlands. The group currently analyses and rates more than 150.000 investments worth over 230 billion euro. Scope Investment Rating is an independent quality assessment of the expected returns and risk volatility regarding the feasibility of returns. An A-rating is, in comparison to many German real estate investment funds, a high Investment Rating outcome.
