ACCADEMIA SGR SpA

The Company Accademia SGR is an asset-management company specialing in real estate funds, combining the international experience accumulated in real estate and the asset management business generated by Banca del Sempione in over forty years. Providing asset management services through a real estate fund allows the Banca del Sempione Group to enhance its range of products and services. The Mission Accademia SGR has inherited the Group’s attention to the needs of the individual. In fund management, this means forging tools designed for use by a restricted number of investors and investments. The Accademia SGR mission is to give investors maximum transparency in the management of their funds. As a result, investors have the opportunity to participate in highly attractive real estate initiatives through tools directly managed by the company, with the advice of real estate industry experts, and the comfort of the guarantees afforded by the control structure, under Italian law. Real Estate Funds A real estate fund exclusively and prevalently invests its assets in: • real properties; • real property rights; • stakes in real estate companies, i.e. in companies that appraise, acquire, transfer, and manage real estate, including related businesses, or construction (in such case the equity investment is limited to 10% of the fund’s asset value). Interested investors may underwrite shares in the real estate fund through: • the transfer of properties, real property rights, and equity investments in real estate companies; • cash payment. Investing In Our Funds The real estate funds are an ideal tool for transforming savings into a real fruitful and safe investment, far from securities market fluctuations because of value growth over time and sizable returns. Since these funds are reserved for “qualified investors”, they are allowed to maintain a higher investment concentration, a feature that makes them similar to a personal inheritance and not an anonymous mutual investment fund.
