Revolutionary investment strategy for commercial rental deposits
Dr Peter Hilfiker, the former CEO of Schwyzer Kantonalbank, is turning the traditional handling of commercial rental deposits on its head. The aim of the company is to transform rental deposits into profitable investments without compromising security for landlords.
At a time when the focus is on adding value to capital, the new solution brings a breath of fresh air to the management of rental deposits. The innovative solution, which was developed in collaboration with leading asset managers and banks, enables companies to invest their rental deposits efficiently while providing the necessary security for landlords.
The CEO: “It’s time for capital to work for the company and not destroy value over time. With our solution, companies can quickly move from costly rental deposits to profitable investments.”
A 1999 study by the Federal Office for Housing states: “For the tenant, rent deposits are de facto a kind of “forced saving” on terms that he cannot influence. It is therefore appropriate to look for a new alternative to rent deposits”.
Traditionally, rent deposits have been seen as a cost for companies that primarily ties up liquidity. Now, companies can seamlessly transition from cost to revenue. The ability to quickly and easily convert rent deposits into secure and profitable investments dusts off the previous understanding of antiquated deposit accounts and allows them to shine in a new light. The company provides both tenants and landlords with a smart match tool.
According to a study conducted by the Federal Housing Office in 1999, rental deposits were previously regarded as an inflexible form of compulsory savings without tenants having any influence.
In order to be able to offer the best possible investment strategy for rental deposits, the company co-operates with renowned partners in the field of custodian banks and asset management.
