De Micco & Friends

Our personal standard with investments in real estate is high.

The same is true when we support you with a purchase. While

real estate investments are considered the most secure

investment form in many regions, each involvement requires

qualified review, because most of these investments are

either medium- or long-term. This means that it is always

important to establish a most transparent assessment that

also includes long-term aspects.

As an experienced investor and project developer, we know

the real estate markets and understand the most important

aspects regarding investment property:

■ Appropriate pricing

■ Realistic, market-driven calculation of overall return on

an investment ■ Urban or infrastructural risks and opportunities

■ Traditional location factors

■ Development of rental price markets

■ Opportunities and potential return on investment at

resale

The De Micco & Friends Group is involved in the international capital markets as an experienced investment banking company. D&F Real Estate selectively invests in profitable residential and business real estate. Due to their stable value, real estate investments provide a good alternative especially in the turbulent times at the volatile capital markets. As a subsidiary of the De Micco & Friends Group, D&F Real Estate, as an investor, puts the experiences, networks and know-how into practice at the international real estate markets. Take advantage of this know-how with your next investment.

REAL ESTATE – THE ALTERNATIVE

SECURITY AND TRANSPARENCY

D&F Real Estate is not a typical real estate agent. As an

investor and representative of the buyer side, D&F Real

Estate does not focus on purchasing property on behalf of a

seller as quickly as possible. In fact, their focus is to identify

the best property at the best conditions, to assess and then

purchase it. In this aspect, D&F Real Estate is radically

different from traditional real estate agents. This focus applies

to investments in large and complex business real estate as

well as with the purchase of private property.

Another difference to traditional agents is the transaction

orientation of D&F Real Estate, meaning that the investors are

part of the process from research to assessment and

business planning, during each phase of the negotiations all

the way to the final sale and form of a legally binding

purchase agreement. The international senior partner network

of the De Micco & Friends Group provides only the most

qualified experts for these tasks.

THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY

We will not offer you any property in which we would not invest ourselves. Every offer submitted by us contains information, data and facts that have been investigated in detail. Our experts quickly and transparently obtain all necessary information. A piece of real estate is only considered “ready for notary action” when all questions have been answered.

PROFITABILITY RESEARCH – INVESTMENT FACTORS

De Micco & Friends

The Capital Market offers numerous investment opportunities

that introduce the most adventurous models regarding return

on investment. We continuously come across profitability

calculations that do not bear up against any qualified review,

particularly in the real estate industry.

Property items from the offer portfolio of D&F Real Estate have

undergone a detailed review without exception. An item of

property does not reach offer status until all risks and costs

have been analysed. This is the only way to calculate realistic

return on investment scenarios.

Therefore, the evaluation of D&F Real Estate projects will be

of almost no burden to you. As an investor, you not only

receive a traditional offer, but also a decision memo.

When you decide for the investment in real estate, we are

going to locate the property that is best for you.

The list of questions regarding the review of a piece of real

estate is quite extensive. The realistic assessment is at the

centre of this review. Typically we obtain the following

information prior to the offer phase:

Market and location analysis

What are the characteristics (transport, infrastructure etc.) of

the location of the property? What are its strengths and

weaknesses in direct comparison with other items of property

at the micro location? How does demand and population ratio

develop with regard to the property’s characteristics

conceptual to its use? What does the regional infrastructure at

the macro location look like? Which factors influence your

usage concept or your planned business and to what extent?

Cost and leases

What costs arise, where and at which frequency? How are

these costs going to change or develop in the future? Which

expenditures and investments can be expected in the future?

What does the lease market look like?

Property condition

Your ideas and your business model fundamentally shape the

real estate specifications: What is the real estate quality and

infrastructure? Which usage potential may be realised and

how much effort would it take? …

As an investment banking company, the De Micco & Friends Group has been an investor and consultant in merger & acquisition projects for many years. D&F Real Estate uses exactly this core competency regarding the acquisition and sale of business and income property. Because the purchase of capital assets, such as residential and business buildings, or industry and office real estate is not a mere real estate purchase, but rather a business investment. At the same time, the choice of location is an essential business decision for any businessperson, which affects many aspects of strategic planning. This requires a much more complex know-how, which you as an investor or businessperson should use to your advantage.

EXPANSION BY ACQUISITION OR LEASE

Growing companies in particular, such as industrial

enterprises, retailers or brand manufacturers, who wish to

expand by the acquisition or lease of additional regional or

international locations, utilise the experience and competency

of the De Micco & Friends Group.

As a client of our Group, you will be assigned a partner, who

combines business competency and growth experience with

specialist real estate know-how.

An important success factor of the De Micco & Friends Group

is the senior partner concept. This model combines capital

market and real estate experts, legal advisers, tax experts

and accountants in one unique network.

In general, the senior partners build a direct connection to the

industry of our clients. The business orientation and the

qualification of the senior partners enable us at any time to

understand and implement your business location concept.

This not only helps you gain time, but also significantly

reduces the cost.

We invite you to present your project to us. We will make

an offer without obligation.

EXPANSION – BUSINESS PROPERTY

De Micco & Friends

Real Estate Investments

EXPANSION – BUSINESS PROPERTY

Each property and each project are different. However,

profitability, tactical and strategic goals are always at the

centre.

D&F Real Estate has developed a concept that sufficiently

localises, appraises, assesses and implements projects. We

use this proven procedure when we participate in projects

using our own means, but also when we implement projects

on behalf of our clients.

So when you decide to get involved, you will be participating

in a well-established system, whether you are implementing

your own project or wish to participate in an existing project

as co-investor.

For current transactions and projects, please visit our website

at www.demicco.ch.

Naturally, prior to the initiation of actual negotiations, you will

remain anonymous as a buyer or investor until you find a

suitable project.

For each project we develop the fact book that contains the

following criteria and facts.

■ Status quo and clarification of the strategic goals

■ Definition of the preferred markets and sectors

■ Technical, structural, business and other location-

related requirements ■ Competitor situation

■ Business planning and agenda regarding return on

investment ■ Development opportunities

■ Resale situation

■ Budget and financing issues

■ Transaction cost finding, fiscal and legal aspects

The fact book summarises your concrete wishes and

requirements. Research begins only on the basis of this

detailed requirement catalogue. This prevents inefficient and

time consuming inspections of unsuitable items of property

and saves you a lot of time.

THE IMPLEMENTATION THE CONCEPT

As an experienced investor, De Micco & Friends Real Estate has specialised in items of business property and capital assets with the implementation of real estate transactions. Use this experience for the benefit of your own expansion plans. The De Micco & Friends Group generally works transaction-oriented. Therefore, all research, consulting services and organisation of the transaction implementation are free of charge until a transaction is completed.

De Micco & Friends looks at and evaluates income property

as a business. Here, we focus on much more than the

technical structure, quality and location of the property. In

fact, each income property is backed by an individual

business model, which can be used as the basis for a

business plan. This is precisely our approach with each

project.

We always regard an income property as a business, a small

or large business, which must first satisfy the traditional

evaluation criteria before we decide to invest. Next, we

develop an appropriate business plan that contains all factors

of the property and the resulting business model.

Here, as well, you as an investor participate and benefit in the

many years of experience that our Group has in the merger &

acquisition sector, where we evaluate, purchase, sell and

merge companies as consultants and investors.

Therefore, if you desire to invest in income property yourself,

we invite you to utilise this know-how as a partner of De Micco

& Friends. The research team continuously searches for and

analyses interesting projects at many locations.

Especially in times of low Capital Market interest, profitable real estate should be part of every good asset allocation. Besides stable value, intelligently required items of property also provide sustainable return on investment and long-term security as well as a stable retirement plan. In the context of income property, De Micco & Friends cooperates with real estate funds, which optimise your portfolio, and with private investors, who are looking for good and profitable items of property.

INVESTMENTS AND INCOME PROPERTY

PROPERTY AS A BUSINESS MODEL

The market for really good, sustainable and profitable

projects is very limited. All the more important are your

investment goals regarding the search and selection of the

best, most suitable property with respect to your

requirements.

■ Long-term capital investment with safe return on

investment ■ Speculative investment with the goal of a short-term

resale with high margin ■ Highest possible stock and resale value

■ Technical questions, possible uses, maintenance

■ Expansion opportunities, such as extensions and

modifications to buildings ■ Highest possible monthly return on investment

■ Partial financing with low or high equity

■ Industry criteria (business, private tenancy, possible

own use) ■ Fiscal aspects

■ Succession plan or aspects with regard to inheritance

law

The requirements of the investors are as individual as the

items of property themselves. We invite you to utilise the

experience and know-how of De Micco & Friends for your

next investment.
