Summary

The fund has ceased redemptions and the issuance of new shares as of that date.
Catella MAX has been operating for 16 years and focuses on the economically strong Munich metropolitan region, with a preference for central locations and attractive developments. Per the publisher's coverage, the fund will sell off its real estate portfolio over the coming years rather than being liquidated immediately. One property referenced in the article is Park View, located at 30 Gertrud-Grunow-Str. in Munich.
The decision comes amid significant stress across German open-ended real estate funds. A related report from the same period noted that UBS Real Estate was winding down its own German open-ended fund, reported on September 25, 2026. Such closures highlight the liquidity and redemption pressures facing vehicles of this structure, which allow investors to redeem shares on an ongoing basis while holding illiquid property assets.
