The capital investment company is responsible for the acquisition and sale, letting, commercial and technical management of the properties held
	Of great benefit to the investors, is the capital investment company's knowledge of foreign markets
	It is a relatively low-management investment, since investors are merely required to book their units and the dividends received
	Building write-downs do not diminish the return to institutional investors; hidden reserves can be created by accumulating profits
	The use of debt finance, which is not normally possible for insurance companies and pension funds making direct investments, can help a property special fund improve the return from foreign investment
	The positive effect of synergies within the capital investment company are passed on to the investors in the form of lower costs
	Customised reporting structures afford a high degree of transparency (similar to direct investment)
