Notes to Editors:
Speymill Deutsche Immobilien Company plc is a pan-German residential property investment company, which listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2006, raising £170 million. In May 2007, SDIC raised a further €250 million through a C share placing. The Euro denominated fund aims to provide investors with an attractive level of income together with the prospect for long-term capital growth.
The German residential market is viewed as attractive to investors due to a number of factors including rising German economic activity and productivity, and the availability of assets at below replacement cost. Acquired properties should, through active management, also have the potential for increased rental rates and accordingly improved capital values and increased yield.
