Europe Garbe sets up European residential fund

Residential
Garbe Institutional Capital has launched a pan-European residential real estate fund with a total target investment volume of around EUR 800 mln.

The investment focus of the German open-ended alternative investment fund is on Germany, the Netherlands, France, the UK as well as in the cities of Prague and Warsaw. The target equity volume of the core fund is between EUR 400 mln and EUR 500 mln and the maximum debt ratio is 50 pct.

Compared to equities or bonds, European residential markets show stable returns. Our fund will focus on markets with long-term rising income and rental development to grow our cash flows and distribution yields. For asset allocation, we rely on our in-house research and a local presence in our target markets.
Andreas Höfner, Head of Strategy at GARBE Institutional Capital
