Switzerland-based investment manager  is planning to list its shares in Germany next month.

Sascha Wilhelm, chief executive at , said: β€œCorestate has grown to become a leading real estate investment manager in recent years. Since our inception, we have completed real estate transactions with a volume of approximately €5.6bn.

β€œWe are now seeing stable demand for real estate investment products in general and for comprehensive investment management solutions, in particular.”

The move comes 12 months after the Swiss manager .

The 2015 initial public offering, first prepared , was dropped due to a difficult environment for IPOs in the German and UK stock markets, it said.

With the listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Wilhelm said the company would be opening up β€œsustainable access to the capital market” that it would continue to use to finance growth.

The company’s two largest shareholders are co-founder Ralph Winter, with 64.2%, and Swiss company Intershop, with 28.1%.
