Editorial

Dear investor,

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds generated an annual perform-ance of 8.2% as of 30 June 2016. As a result, the cumulative return since the Fund was launched on 15 July 2013 amounts to an impressive 27.1%.

Investors again benefited from the solid cash flow from leas-ing in financial year 2015. On 15 April 2016, they received a distribution of EUR 5.50 per unit (EUR 702,267.50 in total), as in the previous year.

Effective 1 January 2016, CACEIS Bank Deutschland GmbH, Munich, is the new Depositary for SEB Konzept Stiftungs-fonds. It is the depositary for several open-ended real estate funds. The change was approved by the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin – Federal Financial Supervisory Authority). This did not result in any costs for investors.

Concept and Investment Strategy

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds is designed as a high-yield fund with stable value investments. This is based on the gradual development of a diversified portfolio of properties with different types of use at various locations in Europe, combined with an active, sustainable fund management approach.

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds’ investment focus is on traditional European core markets. Europe benefits from high market liquidity and transparency as well as a robust regulatory frame-work. When selecting investments, the Fund’s management favours high-quality real estate with a broad mixture of highly creditworthy tenants. Sustainable fund management means examining and optimising efficiency, environmental friendliness and maintenance of the properties for tenants throughout the entire holding period.

The main focus of the investment strategy is on European office properties. An essential decision-making criterion when selecting a property is the stable ongoing cash flow it gener-ates. The standard practice of indexing leases allows income to be adjusted regularly in line with inflation. The target size of the individual properties is between EUR 15 million and EUR 40 million. This means that it is possible to diversify the portfolio sufficiently even during the Fund’s launch phase. In order to keep the Fund fungible, the size of the investment is geared towards transaction volumes on the real estate market in question. The average holding period for Fund properties has been set at seven to ten years. The portfolio is rounded off by selected logistics and retail properties. The Fund’s man-agement will also take selective advantage of opportunities to supplement the property portfolio from a strategic perspec-tive, thus enhancing the Fund’s earnings power.

A combined top-down / bottom-up investment process is used to select properties. In the top-down approach, the Fund’s management assesses the economic opportunities and risks,

as well as those relating to the locations of potential investments and their market prospects. In the case of specific investment decisions, it analyses individual properties in terms of their location and the immediate environment, the building’s quality, the tenants and their creditworthiness (bottom-up approach).

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds’ strategic liquidity weighting is set to a low figure of between 5% and 10% of Fund assets to reduce the dilutive effect on the return from real estate. This makes active liquidity management necessary in order to synchronise inflows and outflows of funds and real estate transactions.

A target debt ratio (leverage) of up to 30% at Fund level is one of the strategic parameters of the Fund concept. Loans are used primarily for tax optimisation and to hedge currency risks. At the same time, debt finance must be carefully aligned with the cash flows from the individual properties and with the Fund’s financial structure. Fixed interest rate periods and loan maturities are aligned with the income structure and planned holding period of the properties, expected interest rate devel-opments and the Fund’s performance.

The currency risk with property investments in foreign curren-cies is reduced by taking out loans in foreign currencies and through forward exchange transactions. According to statutory requirements, a maximum of 30% of Fund assets can be subject to currency risks. The Fund management ensures that foreign currency items are hedged in accordance with statu-tory requirements and the product’s risk profile.

Distributions are planned once a year with the aim of paying out all income minus costs to investors. With a low to medium risk profile, the target return for SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds is between 4% and 5% p. a.

Risk Management

Risk management is a continuous, integral process that cov-ers all areas of the business, comprising all of the measures applied to systematically deal with risk. One of the key aims of this process is identifying and mitigating any potential risks at an early stage. The early identification of risk helps create room for manoeuvre that can be used to help safeguard existing potential for success over the long term and create new oppor-tunities. The risk management process employed by Savills Fund Management GmbH (formerly SEB Investment GmbH) consists of a risk strategy and the identification, analysis and assessment, management and monitoring, and commu-nication and documentation of risks.

In line with the relevant legal provisions, a distinction is made between the following main risk types:

Counterparty risk

Default by a securities issuer, tenant or counterparty could lead to losses for the Fund. Issuer risk describes the effect of spe-cific developments at an individual issuer that impact the price of a security in addition to general capital market trends. Default by tenants is countered through active portfolio management and regular monitoring. Other measures include credit rating checks and the avoidance to a large extent of cluster risk in the rental segment.

Even when securities and tenants are carefully selected, losses due to the financial collapse of issuers or tenants can-not be ruled out. Counterparty risk comprises the risk that the other party to an agreement will partially or fully default on its obligation. This applies to all contracts signed for the account of a fund, but particularly in connection with the derivative transactions that are entered into, for example, to hedge cur-rency risk.

Interest rate risk

The liquidity portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk and influ-ences the Fund return. If market interest rates change in rela-tion to the rate applicable when the investment was made, this will affect prices and yields for the investment and lead to fluctuations.

However, these price movements vary depending on the invest-ment duration. Fixed-interest securities with shorter maturities entail lower price risks than fixed-interest securities with longer maturities. By contrast, fixed-interest securities with shorter maturities generally have lower returns than fixed-interest securities with longer maturities. Liquidity was held in current account balances at banks during the reporting period.

Loans are also exposed to interest rate risk. In order to mini-mise negative leverage effects as far as possible, fixed interest rate periods and the final maturity of loans are aligned carefully with the planned holding period of the properties, letting rate trends and expected interest rate developments. If loans are terminated early, there is a risk of early repayment penalties.

The Fund management company may employ derivatives to reduce exchange rate and interest rate risks. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes to mitigate risk.

Currency risk

If the assets belonging to a fund are invested in currencies other than the fund currency, the fund receives the income, repay-ments and proceeds from such investments in the relevant currency. If the value of this currency falls against the fund currency, the value of the fund declines. In principle, foreign currency items are largely hedged as part of a low-risk cur-rency strategy. Thus, in addition to taking out loans in the rele-vant currencies, foreign currency items are hedged using forward exchange transactions.

Real estate risk

The properties owned by an open-ended real estate fund are the basis for its returns. Such real estate investments are subject to risks that may have an effect on the unit value of the fund. For this reason, a large number of factors can cause property values and income from properties to fluctuate:

W In any investment decision, political, economic and legal risks – including those posed by tax law – should be con-sidered, along with how transparent and well developed the real estate market in question is.

W In decisions to invest outside the eurozone, the volatility of the national currency must be taken into consideration as well. Exchange rate fluctuations and the costs of currency hedging have an impact on the property return.

W Any change in the quality of the location may have a direct effect on the lettability and current letting situation. If the location increases in attractiveness, lease contracts can be signed for higher rents; however, in the worst possible case a decrease could mean lasting vacancies.

W Building quality and condition also have a direct impact on the capacity of a property to generate income. The condi-tion of the building may require expenditures for maintenance that exceed budgeted maintenance costs. Investment costs required in addition may impact the return over the short term, but may also be necessary to achieve long-term positive development.

W Risks posed by fire and storm damage as well as natural forces (such as flooding and earthquakes) are covered internationally by insurance if this is possible, reasonable from a financial point of view and objectively necessary.

W Vacancies and expiring leases can mean either earnings potential or risk. For example, properties with vacancies can deliberately be purchased countercyclically to realise later value increases. Regular observation of the markets invested in, and the implementation of measures based on this knowledge with a view to reacting in good time to

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds – Semi-annual Report as of 30 June 2016 6

Page 7: SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds - SavillsIM · Risk Management Liquidity Portfolio6 Real Estate Markets – An Overview Statement of Assets, Part III:8 Results of the Fund in Detail 11

market movements, are crucial parts of the process. At the same time, vacancies result in income shortfalls and increased costs to enhance the attractiveness of the property for rental.

W The creditworthiness of tenants is also a significant risk component. Poor creditworthiness can lead to high out-standings and insolvencies can lead to a total loss of income. One of the tasks of portfolio management is to aim to reduce dependencies on individual tenants or sectors.

W Equity interests in real estate companies, i.e. indirect real estate investments, may be exposed to the risk of changes to company or tax law, particularly abroad.

Market risks specific to real estate, such as letting rates, lease expiries and the performance of the real estate portfolio, are regularly monitored. Appropriate departments are responsible for monitoring performance and the major performance com-ponents, and for financial control of the latter (e.g. returns on real estate, returns on the liquidity portfolio, other income and fees). A reporting system has been set up for the relevant per-formance indicators.

Operational risk

The investment company is responsible for ensuring the orderly management of the Fund. It has made the appropriate arrangements for this and implemented risk minimisation measures for all operational risks identified. The Fund’s opera-tional risks include legal and tax risks, for example.

Liquidity risk

Unlike exchange-traded securities, for example, real estate cannot always be sold quickly. Depending on internal cash flows, the Fund therefore holds liquidity over and above the minimum required by law. In exceptional cases, however, unit certificate redemptions may be suspended if unexpected outflows of funds cannot be covered by the available liquidity in the short term and the required liquidity must first be obtained through the sale of properties or borrowing, for example.

Risks existing during the reporting period are addressed in the individual chapters.

Real Estate Markets – An Overview

Economic environment

The global economy encountered headwinds in the first half of 2016. Factors increasing uncertainty included the Chinese economy and levels of private indebtedness in the country, the slump in commodities prices and the expected tightening of monetary policy in the USA, as well as political topics such as the refugee crisis in Europe, the EU referendum in the United Kingdom and the elections in the USA. All these impacted global economic growth, which was only muted as a result. The economy picked up slightly in Western Europe but eased in the other parts of the world. At the same time, inflation per-sisted at an extremely low level. Against this backdrop, the trend among central banks across the world towards monetary pol-icy easing was unchanged. For the first time in their history, the ECB and the Japanese central bank also resorted to negative key interest rates to supplement quantitative easing.

The British voted in June 2016 to leave the EU (“Brexit”), although it is currently unclear when this will actually happen and to what it extent it will affect future trade relationships. This uncertainty will significantly impact the United Kingdom’s pros-pects and will also affect other countries, depending on how close their links are. As a result, growth forecasts will see another downward revision in the near future.

Therefore, the blip in global growth that has already been fore-cast for 2016 is like to be more pronounced than previously expected. Equally, there are question marks surrounding the slight uptick in the economy in 2017, which depends primarily on the USA and the emerging markets. Inflation is likely to rise marginally on the back of the slight recovery in oil and com-modities prices, although it will remain low overall. Conse-quently, monetary policy in Europe should ease further, while the USA is likely to postpone its forthcoming interest rate increase towards 2017. For the same reasons, Asian countries also have room for further monetary and fiscal policy meas-ures designed to support their economies. Apart from Brexit, there are risks relating to a hard landing in China and a debt crisis in the emerging markets. To these must be added the US presidential elections and Europe's fragile banking system.

Global real estate markets

The situation on the leasing markets continued to improve in the year to date, although momentum was less pronounced as a result of the increased uncertainty. Overall vacancies on the leading property markets declined slightly, while prime rents rose moderately on average, although individual markets were not always in line with this. In keeping with the macroeconomic indi-cators, the largely positive trend is expected to continue on many markets, albeit at a lower level. Depending on their number, corporate relocations associated with Brexit could have a positive effect on some Continental European markets (espe-cially Paris and Frankfurt).

Activity on the global investment market eased in the first half of 2016, although it remained pretty robust. Transaction

volumes in North America rose year-on-year, but declined in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Investors were looking for greater security in view of the challenging environment. However, ini-tial yields for prime properties continued to decline on many markets due to a lack of products. Given the lack of alterna-tives, the reduction in yields also spread to peripheral and regional markets.

Real estate continues to appear attractive worldwide in view of the continued investment pressure being experienced by insti-tutional investors in today’s negative / low interest rate environ-ment and financial market volatility. Since Brexit means that investors will be more cautious for a time, transaction volumes are likely to be down year-on-year at the end of 2016. Conse-quently, there is still downside potential for selected initial yields, even though in some cases they have already reached the lows of 2007. Since both key interest rates and market interest rates are remaining lower for longer than previously anticipated, the trend reversal in initial yields that was expected from 2017 onwards is also likely to be delayed further.

Germany

A moderate but steady economic upturn in Germany was also reflected in growing demand for office space. Vacancies con-tinued to decline in view of the low completion rates. Prime rents increased at almost all top locations, led by Berlin. For 2016 / 2017, economic growth is expected to ease temporarily as a result of Brexit. Nevertheless, the positive trend in office rents is likely to continue provided there is no change in the constellation of limited construction activity and a slight increase in demand.

The German investment market lost momentum in the first six months of 2016. Transaction volumes for all commercial types of use declined, with retail properties seeing the strongest fall. Although domestic institutional investors were the most active group of buyers, foreigners remained the dominant force despite lower sales levels. Prime yields at top locations in Germany continued to decline. Since the German market is attractive, there is scope for a further decline in yields, although this is likely to be increasingly limited in certain submarkets.

United Kingdom

The UK economy grew slightly in the first half of the year, although both the leasing and the investment markets were dominated by the EU referendum. As a result, demand for office space lost momentum in the first six months of this year, although it remained comparatively robust. Prime rents recorded a further rise but eased slightly in parts of London. The vote to leave the EU has led to sharp downward revisions for growth forecasts for the United Kingdom. Both a clear blip in the economy and temporary recessionary tendencies seem possible. The negative impact on the leasing market will be ex acerbated by the fact that the construction cycle has started. In addition, enterprises are discussing relocating some of their operations.

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds – Semi-annual Report as of 30 June 2016 8

Page 9: SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds - SavillsIM · Risk Management Liquidity Portfolio6 Real Estate Markets – An Overview Statement of Assets, Part III:8 Results of the Fund in Detail 11

Following a record volume in 2015, activity on the UK investment market in the first half of the year dropped sharply, led by London. While this must be seen in the context of the EU ref-erendum, the drop is considerably smaller than the slump in 2008 / 2009. Overseas investors were the most important buy-ers, both in absolute and in relative terms. Although prime yields both in London and in regional locations remain lower than last year in some cases, the decline has slowed somewhat recently. At present, a slight increase in initial yields can be expected. In the meantime, though, the UK market is becoming more attractive from a US and Asian perspective in particular because of the sharp drop in the value of sterling.

France

The French economy is recovering at a moderate pace. How-ever, this trend is expected to weaken again as a result of Brexit and the terrorist attacks. Office market take-up picked up somewhat thanks to a number of major deals. As a result, prime rents increased marginally on some Parisian submarkets, whereas regional markets saw little movement. Rent trends in France are likely to be muted in 2016 / 2017, led by Paris.

After a record 2015, investment activity in France also decreased markedly in the first half of 2016. Investor focus increasingly shifted back to office properties. The decline in prime yields slowed, with yields at some locations remaining stable.

Benelux

The economy in the Benelux countries picked up further and should also see moderate growth in 2016 / 2017. Leasing demand declined somewhat recently with the exception of Luxembourg. Investor interest is focused on high-quality properties in established locations. Prime rents were largely stable, although a small rise was recorded in parts of Amster-dam. Since the economic upturn is expected to continue unbroken, vacancies will probably decline slightly. However, these are still pretty high in some cases (and especially the Netherlands) despite the continuing trend towards office space conversions; as a result, only established office loca-tions are expected to see (limited) rental growth.

After the Benelux countries recorded record investment mar-ket results in 2015, these also cooled off in the first half of 2016. Nevertheless, the trend in activities remained extremely robust, with demand for office and logistics properties in par-ticular still putting in a lively performance. At the same time, initial yields eased. This trend seems set to continue given the relatively attractive prices.

Italy

Italy has experienced a muted but steady upturn in growth since 2015, and this is set to continue in 2016 / 2017. The office leasing markets have picked up tangibly over the past quarters, helped by the recent rent corrections. However, expectations of rent increases in 2016 / 2017 remain subdued because of the high level of vacancies. The situation for Italy’s

retailers is also improving, even though the forecast increase in sales for the coming years is below the European average. Nevertheless, demand from international chains in particular for high-visibility prime locations – including in some cases in the larger regional cities – remains unchanged.

Italy remains attractive to investors in real estate ahead of a potential recovery and due to the better yields. Following a record result in 2015, transaction volumes in the first half of the year were down only slightly on the prior-year period. Investor interest has shifted from office to retail properties. Nevertheless, prime yields on the leading office markets continued to retreat. However, political and economic risks mean there is a danger that Italy will become less attractive to foreigners.

Northern Europe

The economy in Northern Europe was mixed. Although highly robust in Sweden, it cooled off in Norway as a result of the oil price while only moderate signs of an upswing were discern-ible in Finland for structural reasons. This was also reflected in divergent trends on the leasing markets. In Sweden, prime rents are expected to record a further slight increase whereas, conversely, in Norway they could come under pressure due to a large number of completions. Prime-sector rents in Helsinki should stabilise in view of the record low volume of new space coming onto the market.

Transaction volumes in Northern Europe exceeded 2007 lev-els in 2015 and also remained strong in the first half of the year. The decline in Norway was more than offset by the other countries. Consequently, initial yields continued to fall. There is scope in the short term for a prolonged if limited decline in yields in Northern Europe.

Central / Eastern Europe

Central and Eastern Europe has now regained its position as one of Europe’s fastest-growing regions. Only in Hungary was the upswing dampened by special factors.

The positive environment is reflected in growing demand for office space, although this is being hampered in some cases by substantial additions of new space and the general trend in rents. This applies to Warsaw in particular. Given the recent decline in rents, demand is focusing on new, modern office space. However, since this often entails a switch from “old” space that then becomes vacant, the existing high vacancy rates are in danger of rising further in view of the large number of completions expected. As a result, both prime and average rents in Warsaw are expected to remain under pressure.

Transaction activity in Central and Eastern Europe remains lively. Poland was the main focus in the first half of 2016, while investment activity in the other countries eased. However, ini-tial yields declined across all markets. This trend is likely to continue to a moderate extent throughout the year as a whole.

USA

US economic growth has slowed since mid-2015, and most recently was below the historical average. Since a modest recovery is expected for the second half of the year, growth should be back on trend in 2017.

Rental activity on the office markets cooled off somewhat, but remained robust. Vacancy rates continued to decline and rents increased slightly, led by markets in the Midwest and on the West Coast (San Francisco, Los Angeles). The recovery in rents is likely to slow further due to the low level of growth and increased construction activity. To date, the retail sector has lagged behind the office markets here, primarily for structural reasons (e-commerce). The slight upturn is expected to continue in 2017 given the strong labour market and consumer data.

After 2015 transaction volumes reached their highest level since 2008, investment activity lost steam in the first half of 2016. Only the apartment sector recorded a rise year-on-year. Never-theless, initial yields declined steadily in most markets and sec-tors. Only a few secondary locations bucked the trend. This situation is not expected to change overall, although there is little room for a further decline in yields.

Asia-Pacific

The economy in the Asia-Pacific region recorded a mixed per-formance and has tailed off since mid-2015. Nevertheless, growth is still approximately 3% higher than that seen in the industrialised nations. Although export risks have risen as a result of Brexit’s negative effect on Europe, stable growth is still expected for the region in 2016 / 2017. The economic slowdown in China will be offset by other countries. A moder-ate, yet stable upturn is expected in Japan and Australia. Singapore is expected to experience a blip in growth in 2016 / 2017, due above all to export-related factors.

Despite the gloomy economic environment, the situation on the region’s office markets has improved in most cases and a large number of locations saw a slight rise in office rents. However, these declined in Singapore and certain secondary markets in China that are experiencing an oversupply of office space as a result of increased construction activity. Although sentiment in the Asia-Pacific retail sector has improved some-what overall, leasing demand was uneven and muted overall. The latter situation applies in particular to Singapore, where retail rents also declined against the backdrop of a weaker sales trend and increasing cost pressure. The leasing markets in the Asia-Pacific region will gain momentum in line with eco-nomic growth, although in some cases to a lesser extent than previously supposed. Australia and Japan are expected to remain at the forefront of this trend. Developments in China are expected to be mixed, while rents in Australian locations connected to the raw materials sector will remain under pres-sure. Equally, office and retail rents in Singapore are not expected to stabilise until 2017 / 2018.

Investment market activity in the Asia-Pacific region also tailed off in the first half of the year, following record levels at the end of 2015. Overall, the decline recently covered all types of use, although it was most pronounced in the retail sector. Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and India bucked the trend to record an increase in transaction volumes. This was mostly due to large individual sales in the office sector. In China, development activity – which is dominated by the residential sector – was the main area to see a recovery. Transaction volumes in Japan also declined, although demand from domestic investors was still extremely robust. Initial yields on most property markets in the region fell, albeit less strongly and in a more differen-tiated fashion. This mixed trend is likely to continue in the region in 2017.

Outlook

Savills Fund Management GmbH has been part of the Savills Investment Management Group since 1 September 2015. The combined company operates under the Savills Investment Management name. The new ownership structure has led to a strategic change of direction. Since Savills Investment Man-agement focuses on institutional clients and the special funds segment, it has been decided not to continue with SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds. Initial steps towards marketing the Fund’s only property have been taken.

The logistics property in Wolfsburg was constructed at the end of 2013 and is full leased for the long term to a highly credit-worthy contract logistics provider to the automotive and supplier industry. It is well situated and has been awarded a silver DGNB certificate by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) for its high quality. The property’s market value has already risen sustainably during its short life.

The aim is to use the liquidity generated from the sale to pay out the proceeds to investors, after adjustment for the neces-sary reserves for the fund’s dissolution.

We offer you our warmest thanks for the confidence you have shown in us.

Disclosures on the Property Record

The property record on the preceding pages contains information on the property requiring further explanation.

Please read the following information in order to interpret the data:

The year built / renovated relates to the last year in which major conversions, extensions, or modernisations took place.

The area corresponds to the leased area at the reporting date.

The average remaining lease terms in years do not include any indefinite leases.

The market value is determined by the price that would be obtained within a short time in the normal course of business in accordance with the legal situation and actual characteristics, the other attributes and the location of the property, disre-garding unusual or personal factors. The valuation procedure

is based on the German income approach (Ertragswertver-fahren), in which a property’s value is calculated on the basis of the sustainable rental income that it will generate. The market value is determined once a quarter by external, pub-licly certified and sworn valuers.

The long-term gross profit corresponds to the rental valuations determined by the external valuers that are used as a basis to calculate the income obtainable. This net basic rent that can be generated from a property in the long term if it is fully let rep-resents the long-term income achievable from a property, regardless of short-term fluctuations in demand. Premiums or discounts that reflect the property’s current market situation (such as vacancies or leases signed at above-market conditions) are deducted from or added to the market value separately. For this reason, the rental valuation based on the expert opin-ion may differ from the actual estimated position. Rather, it provides a current estimate of a property’s long-term earnings power.

Information on the asset valuation procedure

Real estate

General principles of property valuation The company appoints sufficient numbers of external valuers (“valuers”) to appraise properties, land rights and similar rights governed by the law of other countries (“properties”), or prop-erties that were acquired for the account of the fund.

The valuers must take into account the provisions of national law and the fund rules for the fund in question, and must per-form the scheduled valuations. The valuers are required to value in particular:

W the properties to be purchased for funds or for real estate companies in which the company holds an interest for the account of funds;

W the properties held by the fund or by real estate companies in which the company holds an interest for the account of funds;

W the properties to be sold by funds or by real estate compa-nies in which the company holds an interest for the account of funds.

To the extent that the company does not commission an earlier valuation, the valuations are performed by the valuers who were assigned responsibility for this at the least in accordance with the regular cycle specified in the fund rules for the funds in question.

Properties are recognised at their purchase price at the time of transfer of ownership / of the risks and rewards of owner-ship. Further details on valuation are contained in the provisions of the Kapitalanlagegesetzbuch (KAGB – German Investment Code) and the KARBV, and, where applicable, in other national provisions.

Value concept and valuation methods The market value of a property is the price that would be obtained at the time the calculation is made, in the normal course of business, in accordance with the legal situation and actual characteristics, the other attributes and the location of the property, disregarding unusual or personal factors.

As a rule, to calculate the market value / fair value, the valuer must determine the net income value of the property using a procedure that is recognised on the real estate market in question. Other valuation methods that are recognised on the real estate investment market in question may additionally be used to review the reasonableness of the valuation if the valuer regards this as necessary and / or appropriate to ensure the

proper valuation of the property. In this case, the valuer must state the results of the other valuation method and give his or her reasons for using it in a clear and comprehensible manner in the valuation report.

In general, the market value of a property is calculated by deter-mining the net income value of the property using the allge-meine Ertragswertverfahren (general net income value method) in accordance with the Immobilienwertermittlungsverordnung (German Real Estate Valuation Regulation). This method involves determining the attainable market rental income and adjusting it downwards for management costs, including maintenance and administration costs, and a notional figure representing the risk of lost rental income. The net income value corresponds to the net rental income computed in this way, multiplied by a factor (present value factor) that reflects the typical market rate of interest for the property being valued, taking into account the location, the condition of the building and its remaining useful life. Any special factors affecting the value of a property can be taken into account by means of appropriate premiums or discounts.

A market value / fair value must also be determined as a gen-eral rule for properties under construction during the construc-tion phase. Construction services are recognised at book value to the extent that they have not been accounted for in the property valuation. On completion, the appraised market value must be used.

In the appraisal, the valuer must give an opinion on the quality of the property and the location, the regional real estate mar-ket, the legal and physical characteristics of the property, and its usability and lettability. The appraisal must specify whether there is a large enough pool of potential buyers and users for the appraised property and whether the property’s earnings power can be guaranteed in the long term due to its adequate third-party usability and versatility. Expected income shortfalls and investments in modernisation measures that are fore-seeable or necessary at the time of valuation to secure the esti-mated income must be taken into account in an appropriate manner. If the valuer does not include a discount for mainte-nance backlogs or renovation because of provisions that have already or will be recognised in the Fund, the valuation report must provide a factual justification as to why no such discount was charged. The key valuation inputs – and in particular the capitalisation rate derived from the current market environment and the current attainable market rents for the property – must be clearly stated and explained.

Pre-purchase valuations and regular valuations The pre-purchase valuation is performed by valuers in line with the fund rules for the fund in question. As a rule, the date of this valuation should not be more than three months before the notarisation date for the purchase.

The regular valuation and unscheduled valuations of assets as defined by sections 231(1) and 234 of the KAGB were per-formed by valuers in line with the rules for the fund in question.

SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds – Semi-annual Report as of 30 June 2016 22

Page 23: SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds - SavillsIM · Risk Management Liquidity Portfolio6 Real Estate Markets – An Overview Statement of Assets, Part III:8 Results of the Fund in Detail 11

If the valuations in line with the rules for the fund in question are performed by two valuers who are independent of each other and arrive at differing market values, the arithmetic mean of the two figures shall be recognised as the value of the asset.

The value of the assets as defined by sections 231(1) and 234 of the KAGB must be determined within the period specified in the rules for the fund in question. The first regular valuation must be performed within the appropriate deadlines, starting from the date of transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership or the completion of the construction project.

Valuations are generally spread evenly over the fund’s valuation cycle unless local GAAP or the fund rules for the fund in ques-tion require a valuation as of the end of the financial year.

Unscheduled revaluations The value of the properties must always be recalculated and the new amount recognised if the company believes that the most recently determined value is no longer appropriate due to changes in material valuation factors. The following are exam-ples of possible material valuation factors:

W the effects of natural disasters such as floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, earthquakes, or landslides;

W land contamination that is discovered after acquisition;

W legal issues, such as the loss of rights due to expropriation in accordance with section 95(1) sentence 1 of the Bauge-setzbuch (BauGB – German Building Code), the signing, extension, or termination of leases, or tenant insolvencies;

W other factors such as changes in the market environment or damage to the property / extraordinary investments.

Valuation dates and frequency of valuations The value of each property is determined in line with SEB Konzept Stiftungsfonds’ rules. As far as possible, valua-tions are spread out evenly over the year to avoid a cluster of valuations on certain dates. If changes in material valuation factors occur for a particular property, a revaluation may be con-ducted ahead of schedule. If a heritable building right has been created in respect of a property, the valuers must re assess the property within two months.

Other assets, liabilities and provisions

Bank deposits Bank deposits are valued at their nominal amount plus accrued interest.

Receivables Receivables from property management and other receiv-ables are included at their nominal amount. The recoverability of receivables is reviewed on a regular basis. Default risk is accounted for using valuation allowances and writedowns.

Transaction costs Transaction costs incurred by the Fund when acquiring a prop-erty or equity interest are amortised in equal annual amounts over the expected holding period of the property, but at the longest over a period of ten years. The amortisation charged reduces the Fund’s capital and is not recognised in profit or loss. If the property is resold within the amortisation period given in sentence 1, the transaction costs must be written off in full.

Transaction costs are also capitalised in the case of transac-tions where the buyer or a third party completes the property on their own responsibility and at their own risk and the Fund therefore does not incur typical developer risks.

In order to ensure the equal treatment of direct and indirect property acquisitions, the capitalisation and amortisation of transaction costs in the statements of assets of real estate companies under investment law should, as a rule, be carried out in the same way as prescribed by law at the Fund level (explanatory memorandum for section 10 of the KARBV).

In the case of directly held properties and equity interests, transaction costs still to be amortised are included as a notional figure in the statement of assets and thus in the Fund assets.

Transaction costs not yet amortised remain as a notional figure in the real estate company where they were incurred. They are then recognised during the valuation of the equity interest in this real estate company and do not constitute a separate item of the Fund’s statement of assets. Any necessary adjustments of the amortisation charged to the amounts already recog-nised in the local GAAP financial statements for the real estate company concerned are also recognised in the statement of assets as part of the reconciliation process.

In more detail, the treatment of transaction costs is based on section 30(2) no. 1 of the KARBV.

Liabilities Liabilities are recognised at their repayment amounts. Key liabilities include loans from third parties, liabilities from land purchases and construction projects, and liabilities from real estate management.

Recognition and measurement of provisions Provisions are recognised and measured in accordance with prudent business judgement.

They may not be discounted. They must be reversed when the reason why they were recognised no longer exists.

Provisions can also be established in the context of planned measures / budgeting (e. g. for maintenance measures, man-agement costs, litigation and services utilised).

Information on transparency and the total expense ratio

The total expense ratio is calculated annually. The figure for the period from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 was 1.77% of the average net asset value of the Fund. It repre-sents the ratio of Fund management costs such as the Fund management fee, the Depositary fee, external valuer costs and other expenses in accordance with section 11 of the Special Fund Rules (BAB) to average net Fund assets in the reporting period. Transaction costs are not taken into account in the calculation.

No performance-based remuneration was paid.

In the reporting period, a management fee of EUR 65,941.04 was paid to the investment company and a Depositary fee of EUR 1,480.99 was paid to the Depositary.

The investment company does not receive any reimburse-ments of the fees and expenses paid to the Depositary and third parties from the Fund assets.

The investment company pays trailer fees to brokers from the fees paid to it by the Fund.

Information on material changes in accordance with section 101(3) no. 3 of the KAGB

No new rules governing liquidity management were introduced during the reporting period.

Additional Information

The information on leverage presented here was determined in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 231 / 2013 in conjunction with Article 19 of Directive 2011 / 61 / EU and is based on the net asset value of the Fund.

Leverage according to the gross method expressed in relation to the original maximum ratio of 3.0 amounted to 1.30 as of the reporting date. Leverage according to the commitment method expressed in relation to the original maximum ratio of 3.0 amounted to 1.39 as of the reporting date.

However, the leverage can fluctuate depending on market conditions, meaning it may exceed the maximum amount set by the company despite being monitored on a continuous basis.

The leverage ratio of 27.4% reported in the “Overview of loans” table on page 12 expresses the ratio of loans taken out to property assets.

For information on the fund’s risk profile, please see the “Risk Management” section of the Fund Management Report on page 6 onwards.

No less-liquid assets were ascertained in the Fund.
