01 — Positioning

We connect illiquid real assets with institutional capital.

SH Schweizer Hypotheken AG is a specialised securitisation platform based in Switzerland. We work exclusively with institutional counterparties — banks, insurers and qualified portfolio holders on the origination side.

On the investor side: pension funds, asset managers and family offices seeking collateralised, predictable exposure to European real assets.

04 — Legal Structure

How a
securitisation works.

The real asset remains with the client. SH structures a bankruptcy-remote Fin-Co which grants a loan to the Asset-Co and refinances through the capital market.

Transparent. Regulatory-compliant.
Institutional.
The structure separates legal ownership of the asset from the refinancing vehicle. This protects bondholders against borrower insolvency and keeps the originator's balance sheet unencumbered.
The Asset-Co pledges mortgage certificates as security. The Fin-Co — a bankruptcy-remote SPV within the SH group — issues senior and junior notes against this collateral. All cash flows are monitored by a third-party security agent and paying agent.
