Revenue model

1. Fund Management Fees: APF International initiates closed-end real estate funds (e.g., Vastgoed CV APF XVII, Vastgoed CV APF XXI) and co-investment structures for High Net Worth Individuals. The company earns management fees for structuring, managing, and administering these funds, typically charged as a percentage of assets under management or committed capital.
2. Asset Management Fees (Third-Party Mandates): APF International is appointed as asset manager for third-party property portfolios (e.g., Alderan's Dutch portfolio). Fees are earned for ongoing asset management, including monitoring, optimization, leasing, and reporting on behalf of the fund or investor.
3. Advisory and Transaction Fees: APF International acts as commercial advisor in property acquisitions and sales on behalf of investors and funds (e.g., advising Alderan/Comète on life sciences asset in Zuidland, advising seller of MediArena Studios). Fees are earned on a per-transaction basis for deal sourcing, due diligence support, and transaction execution.
4. Development and Disposition Fees: APF International develops and redevelops properties through JV structures. Revenue is generated through development management fees, promoted interests, and gains on disposal of developed assets or fund participations (e.g., Vastgoed CV APF XVII delivered over 15% average annual single return before being sold to Enexis Vastgoed).

• Catella: European real estate investment manager with Nordic, German, and broader European fund products. Broad incumbent peer with comparable mid-market European real estate fund management and asset management capabilities.
• CBRE Investment Management: Global real estate investment manager with significant Dutch operations. Broad incumbent peer: APF uses CBRE as leasing broker on Central Park Utrecht while competing for Dutch investment management mandates at a much smaller scale — CBRE IM offers similar services as part of a global platform.
• Patrizia: European real estate investment manager headquartered in Germany with pan-European investment and asset management operations. Comparable as a European mid-market real estate fund manager pursuing value-add and opportunistic strategies across multiple European geographies.
• ASR Real Estate: Dutch real estate investment arm of insurer ASR Nederland, managing institutional capital across Dutch residential and commercial real estate. Broad incumbent peer with comparable Dutch fund management capabilities at larger scale.
