Participant satisfaction

Our goal is to provide our participants with an attractive risk-return, transparency and a high level of service. Participant satisfaction is one of our key performance indicators and has been stable at a high level over the past few years. The score is measured externally and anonymously, according to objective criteria, including financial performance, transparency and our strategy. We seek to continuously improve the dialogue with all our participants and maintain our participant satisfaction score by addressing the feedback from our annual satisfaction survey. Due to the ongoing demand for liquidity, our score remained at 4.2, in line with previous year. This is still well above our target of 4.0.

Redemption requests

Vesteda has taken several actions to fulfil the redemption requests we received and generate the required liquidity. Participants indicated they would like to redeem part of their investment in Vesteda for a number of reasons, including the rebalancing of their total investment portfolios.

In 2024, Vesteda paid out €140 million in redemptions, consisting of the payout of the Redemption Available Cash of €50 million and one secondary transaction for a total of €90 million.

Together with an advisor, we continue to take the lead in the search for new investors to provide additional liquidity. Furthermore, we are modernising the liquidity mechanism to improve fund liquidity and attractiveness.
