Over the past two years, we have successfully executed Investcorp’s strategy to build a portfolio of well-located, income-generating industrial and logistics assets based throughout the UK. Demand for these types of assets is growing at a rapid rate and we continue to view this as a thriving market with immense growth potential.

We are continuing to work through an attractive pipeline of new investment opportunities in the UK and continental Europe. The continued growth of our European real estate portfolio is key to achieving our mission to serve investors worldwide with a diversified portfolio of attractive alternative investments.”
