Symbolic politics instead of problem solving: the misguided debate on the ‘Lex Koller’ and listed real estate companies

Symbolic politics instead of problem solving: the misguided debate on the ‘Lex Koller’ and listed real estate companies Various politicians want to ban foreigners from acquiring shares in real estate companies again – as was the case before 2005. However, such a step backwards would not only be counterproductive, it would also have no significant impact on residential property prices. Real estate companies are mainly active in the commercial sector, explains Robert Sekula, Senior Portfolio Manager at SFP. Furthermore, a return to the old rules could trigger a chain reaction that would ultimately have a negative impact on the returns of Swiss pension funds. Instead of focusing on backward-looking measures, we should build on innovative solutions that promote sustainable growth and stability.
