EVLI BANK PLC PRESS RELEASE APRIL 25, 2018 AT 1.00 PM

Evli Fund Management Company expands its offering of alternative investment products by establishing Evli Rental Yield, a fund which focuses on stable return. The fund's operations have started on April 24, 2018.

The operations of the fund were started together with two anchor investors. The fund has already acquired its first real estate assets and has entered into letters of intent for future acquisitions. The Fund is open for new investments both from private individuals and institutional investors four times a year and for redemptions twice a year. The Fund seeks an annual return of 7-10 percent. The Fund will distribute at least 75 percent of its annual result to its unitholders.

"Real estate investments complement equity and fixed income investments and should be part of every well-diversified investment portfolio. Evli Rental Yield gives investors the opportunity to invest in a high quality and diverse real estate fund with a reasonable fee structure. The fund invests in modern real estate assets which have long contracts and strong anchor tenants," comments Tero Tuominen Director of Evli's Alternative Investment Funds.

Evli Rental Yield is the third real estate fund for Evli Fund Management Company and, in addition to the previous real estate and healthcare funds, completes Evli's offering of alternative investment products. Since the start of 2018, Evli has raised over EUR 120 million in new equity in real estate funds.
