Scope reaffirms INTREAL’s AA rating for fourth consecutive year

Rating agency Scope has reaffirmed the AA (SMR) rating of INTREAL, recognising the company’s continued strength as a third-party alternative investment fund manager (AIFM). This marks the fourth time since 2021 that INTREAL has received the AA rating in Scope’s assessment of service capital management companies.

According to the rating report, INTREAL’s excellent quality and expertise in launching and administrating real estate investment funds were key factors in the outcome. Scope highlighted the company’s market leadership and its network of specialised subsidiaries that provide consulting and other fund-related services. The rating also noted INTREAL’s investment in digitalisation and automation, supported by efficient IT structures that contribute to high service quality.

The agency further emphasised the role of employees, pointing to their high level of expertise across specialist areas and the company’s strong staffing capacity, which ensures reliable client service. Scope also cited as a positive factor INTREAL’s decision not to launch its own funds but to focus solely on fund administration, thereby avoiding potential conflicts of interest.

INTREAL’s leadership welcomed the renewed rating. Managing Director Camille Dufieux described the confirmation as proof of the company’s long-term direction and commitment to sustainable growth. Malte Priester, also Managing Director, noted that Scope’s recognition of the firm’s digitalisation and IT strategy was particularly significant, adding that automation and the integration of AI will remain priorities. Andreas Ertle, Managing Director, underlined the importance of staff expertise and the stability of the senior management team, stating that the rating is ultimately a reflection of employees’ contributions.

INTREAL first received Scope’s AA rating in March 2021. The latest confirmation underscores the company’s position as one of Europe’s leading service KVGs in the administration of real estate investment funds.
