The credit rating of Vesteda Residential Fund, the largest commercial residential fund in the Netherlands, is upgraded by Standard & Poor’s from BBB to BBB+. The stable outlook of the rating remains unchanged.

Standard & Poor’s raised Vesteda’s company credit rating stating among others that: “Vesteda’s business risk profile continues to be strong and reflects our view of the fund’s well positioned portfolio of residential properties”.
