Investors have sought more transparency in their investments into single-property as well as aggregated portfolios since well before the latest financial crisis. Through the use of the integrated master fund approach at Institutional Investment Partners, investors gain a deep insight into all data and processes within the value chain, thereby being able to immediately detect risks and opportunities in the portfolio.

We regard ourselves as partners of investors and asset managers, who map out complicated purchase and sales transactions as well as construction measures in a clear and structured process.
Through complete data and process transparency, investors are able to play an active role in the dialogue with asset managers in planning and implementing important strategic measures within their portfolio.

Significant and comparable reporting at property or portfolio level is often made more difficult through a large number of inconsistent datasets from different asset managers.
Institutional Investment Partners addresses this problem at a structural level. In line with our concept of cooperation with asset managers acting on the platform, we guarantee that all data relevant to financial statements are entered consistently and accurately into Institutional Investment Partners‘ central database. With centralised data collection and analysis, we can achieve a considerable improvement in quality while simultaneously reducing complexity.

Another advantage is that the (historic) data is saved in the database and is accessible to the investor at all times – even when, for instance, an asset management mandate expires.

In the case of a Multi-Manager Investor Master Fund, investors also benefit from all of the advantages of our investor master funds, including specialised investment strategies with various asset managers. For a portfolio which combines a wide range of different investment strategies, it often makes sense to select asset managers who specialise in the target sector.

For this purpose, we set up various different segments in our investor master funds which map out all processes and reporting-related subjects concerning the portfolio.

Investor Master Funds are also eminently suitable for integrating real estate portfolios that investors have held themselves to date, and in some cases this can even be done exempt of land transfer tax. Above all, the Investor Master Fund offers investors the advantage of being able to maintain complete data and process transparency in their real estate portfolios even after integrating their own real estate holdings. In addition, individually tailored Investor Master Funds enable investors, if required, to manage their own portfolios flexibly and, at the same time, to call on specialised real estate managers at various levels in the value chain.

In order to achieve a sufficiently large critical mass of investment assets for the fund, Institutional Investment Partners provides support in creating a largely homogeneous investors‘ club. In doing this, we attempt to bring together investors who are interested in a common investment opportunity and who share similar investment philosophies.

The investors‘ club decides jointly on further details of the investment vehicle such as investment guidelines, the term of the investment etc. with Institutional Investment Partners providing any necessary guidance throughout the process.

In addition to the above, Institutional Investment Partners also provide to Investor Club Funds the same extensive benefits as the Investor Master Fund setup: Institutional Investment Partners carries out both the administration of the fund, the risk management and the reporting and controlling.

Typical of Master Funds at Institutional Investment Partners is the high level of transparency of all essential real estate activities, which considerably reduces the risk of the investment. In addition, the consulting division of Institutional Investment Partners supports the investors‘ club in its decision-making processes, for example by providing second opinions to the manager’s investment suggestions.

Short-term liquidity flows of the target investment vehicle do not appear in the investors‘ own accounts; rather, they appear only in the fund of funds structure.

Income from the target investment vehicles is not recognised as earnings with investors until a corresponding distribution from the fund of funds is triggered.
