Outstanding GRESB results for Helvetia in 2025 send a clear signal for sustainable investing
09.10.2025 | Media release
The Helvetia (CH) Swiss Property Fund listed real estate fund of Helvetia Asset Management Ltd and the Romandie Real Estate real estate investment group of Helvetia Investment Founda-tion each scored 90 out of a possible 100 points in this year’s GRESB sustainability bench-mark analysis. This saw them placed in the top quintile in the global field and garnered them the highest rating of 5 stars. Helvetia Investment Foundation’s Swiss Real Estate real estate invest-ment group achieved a 4-star rating, with 89 out of a possible 100 points. The three participat-ing real estate investment vehicles have total assets under management of around CHF 3.4 billion.
The improvement in the ratings is partly attributable to progress in the areas of building certification and energy management. This was achieved thanks to improved processes for the systematic record-ing and evaluation of sustainability figures in the real estate portfolio, which have made a key contri-bution to identifying and implementing effective measures.
2 The GRESB rating is based on the GRESB score and its quintile position compared with all participants in the annual GRESB rating. 5 stars = top quintile in the global field; 1 star = lowest quintile in global field.
3 GRESB grants real estate vehicles a Green Star if they achieve a score of more than 50% of the points in the management and performance categories
Helvetia received 5 stars with two vehicles and 4 stars with one vehicle
“The outstanding GRESB results achieved by the three real estate investment vehicles in 2025 are confirmation of our sustainable investment strategy, in which real estate plays a key role. A responsi-ble approach to future-proof, value-oriented investments is a major strategic concern for us,” says André Keller, Group Chief Investment Officer at Helvetia.
