Dresdner Bank's property fund arm Degi may sell off properties worth EUR 2 bn from its open-ended property funds, according to a report in newspaper Financial Times Deutschland. In February, Dresdner replaced the Degi management, bringing in Silvia Schmitten to cut back Degi's EUR 5 bn property fund business, one of the weakest real estate fund businesses on the German market. The daily cited sources as saying the Catella Property Group will handle the sell-off. Degi spokesman Marc Savini declined to comment on the report. 'We do not comment on rumours,' he said.
