Real Estate Funds: Too Many Investors Want Out: DWS Must Sell Real Estate to Pay Shareholders

DWS, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, has announced plans to sell more properties from three open-ended real estate funds: Grundbesitz Europa, Grundbesitz Global, and Grundbesitz Fokus Deutschland. The funds currently hold properties worth around €10 billion and have a total asset value of €8.2 billion. Since the end of the low-interest-rate phase four years ago, the funds have sold buildings worth approximately €4.5 billion.

Market observers note that selling more properties may be challenging due to rising credit interest rates, which could deter potential buyers.
