The target is for at least 80% of the total portfolio value to be in investment properties in the Fund's core regions. This currently stands at 90.7%.

Focus on liberalised rental sector
With an average monthly rent of € 927, the focus of the Fund continues to be on the mid-rental segment. The liberalised sector (rents of € 711 and above) is particularly interesting for the Fund because rent increases in this sector are not subject to government restrictions. In addition, the liberalised rental market has in recent years become more competitive vis-a-vis the owner-occupier market. Demand is growing and supply is lagging, especially in the Netherlands’ largest and most popular cities. This is widely recognised as the best residential sector in which to invest.
