Returns on assets and investments go to financing our activities. Returns must:  

• Secure the true value of the initial start capital
• Pay taxes
• Pay for philanthropic activities
• Pay the costs of administration

Realdania's investment assets at the end of 2009 amounted to EUR 2.7 billion

Spreading the investments across different classes of assets makes it possible to improve the relationship between return and risk. This makes for greater stability of the returns in relation to global economic development, and it makes it possible to maintain the essential idea: to manage the assets appropriately, so that their true value is retained over a long time horizon.

Today four different classes of assets are included in Realdania's investment strategy. These are:

• Listed shares
• Bonds
• Real property
• Private equity

All four classes of assets include both Danish and international portfolios. At the end of 2009, the investment assets were divided between 37 portfolios, of which 11 portfolios were invested in listed shares, six portfolios were invested in bonds, seven in real property and 10 in private equity.
