Diversification guidelines and investment restrictions

The Fund applies a defined set of diversification guidelines and investment restrictions in the execution of its strategy. The Fund will adhere to the following investment restrictions to focus on its core activity and to limit risks. The Fund’s strategy includes increasing the share of Experience and Convenience to at least 80% of the portfolio value. This will be realised primarily through new acquisitions, investments in the redevelopment of standing assets and the divestment of assets that do not meet the Fund’s strategic criteria.
