  • Crowdfunding Monitor Switzerland 2021
    Institute of Financial Services Zug IFZ Crowdfunding Monitor Switzerland 2021 hslu.ch/crowdfunding Prof Dr Andreas Dietrich, Dr. Simon Amrein We are grateful to the following platforms for supporting this study by providing data: Summary of key results In 2020 CHF 606.6 million (+2%) was raised in Switzerland. CHF 2.29 billion has been raised through crowdfunding since the launch of the first crowd- funding platform in Switzerland thirteen years ago. The highest growth from 2019 to 2020 was posted by reward-based crowdfunding / crowddonating (+82%, to CHF 44.6 million). Crowdlending posted growth (+7%, to CHF 448 m), but crowdinvesting declined in value compared to 2019 (-26%, to CHF 114 m). Some 270,000 people backed crowdfunding projects in Switzerland in 2020. 38 crowdfunding platforms were operating in Switzerland at the end of April 2021 (domiciled in Switzerland). That said, 2020 saw active funding campaigns recorded on only 28 Swiss platforms. Foreword Crowdfunding Monitor 2021 Foreword Crowdfunding is a means of raising finance via online platforms for a wide variety of projects. These can include loans for companies, participating in a business start-up, co-acquiring a property or fi- nancing social projects. Crowdfunding projects thus cover a range of areas. Nevertheless, they all have one thing in common: typically, a large number of people provide an amount that is often small, enabling the project to be realised. Direct, internet-based communication between those providing funds and those seeking funds is a key element of all types of crowdfunding. 38 active platforms are currently operating in Switzerland. The volumes reported by these crowdfund- ing platforms have again exhibited a positive trend in 2020: 2020 saw some CHF 607 million raised.

  • Real Estate Alert’S 22Nd Annual Review of Closed- End Commingled Funds That Seek Yields of at Least 10% by Investing in Com- Mercial Real Estate
    SPECIAL REPORT Fund Managers Flush With Capital, but Not Opportunities Capital, capital everywhere, but no place to invest. Number of Active Funds That’s the quandary facing managers of high-yield real estate funds. 488 466 466 By any measure, their industry is booming, with both the number of vehi- 445 427 429 425 440 cles and the amount of equity commitments at record levels. But finding suit- 415 406 able investments for all that capital is becoming harder and harder, because the long-running bull market has driven valuations sky-high. As a result, fund managers are lowering their return goals and sitting on an unprecedented hoard of uninvested capital. Those are key findings ofReal Estate Alert’s 22nd annual review of closed- end commingled funds that seek yields of at least 10% by investing in com- mercial real estate. The review identified a record 488 active vehicles, up 5% from 466 a year ago. Those funds are managed by a record 392 operators, up from the previous high of 374 last year. They have set an aggregate $339.9 billion equity goal and 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 have already raised $261.3 billion of that amount (or slightly more than three- quarters) — also new highs. But a whopping 72% of those commitments, or $186.9 billion, is still unin- vested. That tally is up 14% from a revised $164.5 billion of dry powder last Uninvested Equity ($Bil.) year and nearly double the $97.9 billion level in 2015. 187 164 The reason why is no mystery: Fund managers see fewer opportunities that 161 fit their return goals.
