ODDO : A safe haven, but with some challenges

The six companies of our coverage stand to benefit from Switzerland’s safe-haven real estate stability, underpinned by a structural housing shortage and ~1% vacancy rates in residential that keep rents and prices firm. Prime-location commercial assets remain in strong demand, supported by firm absorption and continued upward pressure on values. Combined with near-zero rates and low inflation, Switzerland offers a uniquely predictable, supply-constrained, high-quality investment environment. The sector’s recent strong outperformance has lifted valuations to elevated levels (PE 34x vs 20x for SPI) but continues to offer an attractive yield spread and maintain notably low volatility. Our Top Picks in the sector are Swiss Prime Site, Intershop, and Investis.
