After the securitization process, all securities linked to a certain pool of loans are published on VIAINVEST platform with the same ISIN (International Securities Identification Number provided by NASDAQ CSD SE).

*Two component compensation model: interest of 8% p.a. on monthly basis plus interest paid at maturity of the agreement, providing investor with yield to maturity range from 8% to 12% p.a. Interest paid at maturity derives from project Capitalization Rate and Real Estate sales price as follows:

Calculation example:

Capitalization Rate Sales price Yield to maturity
5,75% < 38 093 071 € 8%
5,25% 38 093 071 € - 41 720 983 € 10%
4,75% 46 112 665 € < 12%

Capitalization rate indicates the expected rate of return an investor is likely to achieve on an investment property. The rate is calculated by dividing net annual operating income by the value of the property and multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.
