For Professional Institutional Investors

Following the success of SBF Institution I (now fully divested at a net IRR to investors of 10%), SBF Institution II was launched in 2016 and invests its capital in residential properties in attractive growth cities across Sweden. The fund currently has a portfolio of approximately SEK 1.3 billion with just over 1,100 apartments in nine cities.

The lettable area amounts to approximately 80,000 square meters. The fund's strategy is to invest in markets with dynamic labour markets, well-developed road and train networks, higher education, and forecasted increased need for rental housing. The relatively low investment cost at below SEK 17 000/sqm means that rents are modest which results in a very low vacancy in the fund with just 0.2% of available apartments currently vacant.

  • Target total return: 7–11% per year
  • Target cash dividend: 4–5% per year
  • Semi-open ended fund with redemption option every five years
  • Strong track record at 10% net to investors since inception
  • Will open up for new capital injections during  2024
