Direct Real Estate Investment
The investor holds a participation in the Fund, but actually
the investment into BlueRock is more of a direct real estate
investment. Each cell is closed ended and alloted to only a single
property deal. Therefore, investors do not buy participation into a
mixed portfolio or a regular fund often called a “blackbox” where
the fund managers can buy and sell. BlueRock investors are fully
aware of exactly which property they invest in. Their investment is
completely segregated from any other Investments that BlueRock
may make, as each investment is structured in a cell completely
ring fenced from any other investments.
Diversification
BlueRock gives you the Opportunity to partially participate in a
unique and Large-Size Real Estate Investment. This gives investors
more possibilities to invest into various properties – or the Fund
Cells - resulting in more diversity regarding investment, property,
country, currencies, tenants, etc. This allows a more diversified risk
approach than going into one direct investment or a concentrated
investment with a club deal.
Access to Rare and Better Deals
Thanks to our reputation and track record we have access to
off-market investment opportunities. We focus on a special niche
of properties that are typically too large for private investors,
but equally too small for single large corporate entities such as
insurance and pension funds. The demand for medium sized
properties is lower than small or very large properties and this
is reflected in more attractive purchase prices which add to our
competitive advantage.
Professionalism
The fund mandates only top tier firms for legal, technical, tax and
financial due diligence as well as market research. A high budget
is available due to the high deal volumes which would normally
not be available to individual investors. Additionally, BlueRock has
a team of professional Directors whose experience and integrity
reflects the exceptional standards which BlueRock is committed
to and make sure that the deal is closed in the most optimized
and secure way.
Tax
Investments into BlueRock are a part of the investor’s bank
portfolio - the income is shown on your bank statement.
As opposed to private deals where each investor needs to work
out a specific structure, investors into BlueRock don’t need to
build up their own tax structure for the deal.

Methodology so unique
and valuable?

Discretion
Investors into BlueRock stay confidential - your bank acts as your
nominee and therefore co-investors, financing banks, etc. will not
be provided with names of investors or beneficial owners.
No investor is exposed to the credibility or good standing of
another investor. By contrast, in club deal investors will be
informed about the other investors and, also when investing
directly into real estate the involved parties will be provided
detailed information on the beneficial ownership.
Trust / Security
Payments will only be executed with the directors consent and the
joint signatures from the administrator and the legal adviser.
Both are regulated and licensed independent third parties.
The bank checks the deal standard and constantly checks the
distributions and flow of money. Although this is not a legal
requirement, BlueRock adheres to a strict corporate governance
policy of checks and balances in order to protect the investors.
There are many real estate deals and even
more ways to invest into real estate –
What’s the right way to do it?
Why invest in Real Estate through BlueRock:
Access to unique investment opportunities
Fully regulated vehicle
Highest standard of due diligence
Most optimized tax structures
Best financing solutions
Quarterly property valuation
Quarterly reporting
Quarterly distribution
Subscription via ISIN, investment held by your bank.

The investor buys a part of a particular real estate
investment and holds it through a participation in a
regulated fund
“Our investors approached us with the same question. Should they do a
direct investment, participate in a club deal or even a classical real estate
fund? Our detailed research and analysis of this question helped us create
the BlueRock Fund which we believe is a unique combination of all the
advantages of the various deals possible.
We consider BlueRock’s Investment methodology to be a unique “proprietary
style” professionally managed real estate investing. It gives individual investors
access to property which would otherwise not be attainable.”
