L&G property has just announced that it has launched its second UK Property Income Fund (UKPIF II) since closing its first £300m property fund in 2011.
The first closure of UKPIF II, which has targeted Gross Asset Value of £1 billion, is expected at the send of the Q2, according to a report in Property Magazine International.
UKPIF II will be based off-shore and will take the same structure as its predecessor which offer investors to choose the LTV at which their funds are invested- anywhere up to 50 per cent.
The kinds of property UKPIF II will acquire are likely to be large lots with strong income streams to support them.
L&G’s team of 90 UK property staff will manage the fund and it aims to capitalise on the housing market’s recovery over its seven-year life span.
L&G’s first fund UKPIF I reached a total of £300 million of equity from investors based in Europe, Japan and the Middle East and it is now fully invested since taking on another £115.9 million at the start of this year.
The marketing of UKPIF II will be supported by Cushman & Wakefield, the title further reported.
