Successful launch of automated investment function – sustainable logistics project fully financed within minutes

• New automated investment function simplifies investors' access to financing
• Sustainable logistics project fully financed within minutes
• Continued high demand for real estate projects on financing platform

Berlin, 24 February 2023 – EV Digital Invest AG (ISIN: DE000A3DD6W5, hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or, “Engel & Völkers Digital Invest”), is making it easier for investors to invest with the successful launch of its new automated investment function. This further expands the already broad service offering to the investor base. In addition, new investor groups are to be addressed for the platform. Already in the first project, the financing of a sustainable logistics park of around 2.1 million euros, around one third of the sum was placed in advance via automated investments. This project was placed within a few minutes.

“I am pleased that our new automated investment function has been so well received. This enables our customers to reserve their desired investment amount even before the official start of the project. This gives our investors even easier access to suitable investments and also increases our financing speed,” says Marc Laubenheimer, CO-CEO of the company. He adds: “The projects on our platform are in high demand and often sell out very quickly. The last full financing within only seven minutes confirms this. The fact that such fast financing has been achieved in the current generally difficult economic situation is a testament to the great trust of our investors.”

With the successful launch of the automated investment function, the company has reached an important milestone. In the personal investor portal, investors can automatically reserve investments based on individual parameters. For example, the function can be used to specify the investment amount per project as well as the desired interest margin, risk class, property type and financing term. If upcoming projects on the Engel & Völkers Digital Invest platform match the investment wishes of the investors, they will receive a notification by e-mail at the beginning of the launch day with the option to finally confirm the investment.

Most recently, the “DFI Zukunftspark Oberfranken II” project with a financing volume of around 2.1 million euros was fully financed within just seven minutes. It is a sustainable logistics centre in Bavaria with a total floor space of around 22,200 square metres. The financing period runs for about eight months with a fixed annual interest rate for investors of 7.0 percent. Already in February, an office property in Ratingen was financed in a short period of time. The financing volume amounted to 2.8 million euros. The interest rate was 5.7 percent for a term of 12 months. With the closings, the financing platform is off to a good start in the new financial year despite the challenging market environment and is building on the successful year of 2022.
