ISSUANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Dr. Peters Asset Finance GmbH & Co. KG Kapitalverwaltungsgesellschaft – the Dr. Peters Group AIF management company – was established in May 2013. In accordance with section 20 (1) and (3) and section 22 (1) of the German Investment Code (Kapitalanlagegesetzbuch), approval to operate an external AIF management company was obtained from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) on 16 April 2014.

AIF MANAGEMENT COMPANY REMUNERATION POLICIES

The remuneration policies for the AIF management company are required to be determined in accordance with section 37 of the German Investment Code. This stipulates that the detailed remuneration policies are determined in accordance with Annex II of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (Directive 2011/61/EU), the ESMA Guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the AIFMD (ESMA 2013/232) and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (Regulation [EU] No 2019/2088).

With regard to risk management, the AIF management company’s remuneration policies aim to prevent the assumption of avoidable risks or the creation of incentives in terms of risk assumption, and also incorporate sustainability risks. Due to the absence of variable remuneration and other benefits, disclosure of calculation methods and of the persons responsible for allocation is not required.

Accordingly, no remuneration committee has been set up. These remuneration policies are reviewed annually for effectiveness, appropriateness and conformity with legal and regulatory requirements and are revised as necessary.

DUE CARE AND FAIR PRACTICES

Dr. Peters Group consistently acts with due care based on fair practices and in particular works to safeguard the interests of investors. Our policy is to avoid conflicts of interest and to duly safeguard investor interests in the event that conflicts of interest are unavoidable.

summary risk policy

As an AIF management company, we aim to make our contribution to sustainable investment and align our daily operating practices with the concept of sustainability. For the property portfolio under our management, we have specified a number of criteria that we will adhere to.
