LINUS launches new investment solution and offers investors access to institutional investments in U.S. real estate

• Investment solution LINUS Partners Funds gives investors access to institutional real estate funds of renowned asset managers
• First-time access to the U.S. real estate market via multifamily value-add fund
• Further partner funds with additional geographic focus and other types of use in planning

Berlin, 16 March 2022 - Linus Digital Finance AG (LINUS), the listed real estate fintech from Berlin, is expanding its portfolio of investment solutions to include investments in private real estate funds. With the LINUS Partner Funds, LINUS will offer its investors access to various investment strategies with returns of more than 10 % p.a. on invested capital. Furthermore, investor can now through LINUS expand their private real estate portfolios to include U.S. real estate assets.

The launch of the latest multifamily value-add fund from an experienced U.S. asset manager investing exclusively in the U.S. marks the beginning of the new product series. Value will be created through acquiring assets at discounts, supplemented by efficient asset and cash flow management. The asset manager plans to acquire between 25 and 50 properties, hold and manage them and later sell them at a profit.

"Expanding our portfolio of investment solutions with the LINUS Partner Funds product was the logical next step for us. Our goal is to give our investors digital access to the best real estate investments worldwide. In doing so, we also enable private investors to make smaller investments in institutional products without any compromises on quality," comments David Neuhoff, founder and CEO of LINUS. "With the LINUS Partner Funds, our investors will be able to diversify their real estate investments across different geographies, strategies and asset classes."

In addition to providing geographical diversification, the first LINUS Partner Fund investment opportunity also enables co-investors to diversify their currency exposure as the investment is denominated in U.S. dollars.

In the future, LINUS will provide investors with access to further Partner Funds in order to offer them broad diversification across geographies, asset, and risk classes. The investments are always made through partnerships with renowned asset managers, whose funds have so far mainly been accessible only to large institutional investors.

"We already have another fund from a leading global alternative asset manager in the pipeline," adds David Neuhoff. "This special situations fund will capitalize on aims for purchasing non-performing loan portfolios, real estate assets and complete business lines at deep discounts across Europe."
