Great success for the owner-managed investment manager Aukera Real Estate AG. In the latest “Real Estate Capital Debt Fund 30” (REC 30) ranking of real estate financiers published by the renowned online news and information portal Real Estate Capital Europe, Aukera has once again climbed several places. While the Essen-based investment boutique was ranked 19th among the top 20 European debt fund managers for the first time in 2023, it has now reached 16th place. Only 4 years after its foundation, the company has already raised EUR 1.6 billion from German institutional investors. A year ago, the acquisition volume amounted to just over EUR 1.3 billion.
Lars Armgart, CEO of Aukera, is pleased: “For us at Aukera Real Estate, the renewed improvement in the ranking of the largest debt fund managers in the real estate sector is a great confirmation of our dedicated work, which we intend to continue successfully even in the current challenging market environment.”
Dr. Patrick Züchner, CIO of Aukera, adds: “I am very proud that as an alternative real estate financier we have been able to close a number of attractive transactions for our investors. We are currently benefiting from the dense network that our team has built up over the years, long before Aukera was founded in 2020. We also currently see many good investment opportunities in our core markets in DACH and BeNeLux and are working hard to structure tailor-made solutions for borrowers and investors”.
