Note to editors 

FMS Wertmanagement was established in July 2010 for the purpose of taking over and unwinding the HRE Group’s risk positions and non-strategic operations in ways aimed at minimising losses. Favourable funding conditions in the capital markets are key to this endeavour. The Federal Republic of Germany is the sole owner of FMS Wertmanagement via the Financial Market Stabilisation Fund (SoFFin).
