LaSalle Investment Management closed the LaSalle Asia Opportunity Fund V, a closed-end, Pan-Asian opportunistic real estate fund, at $1.15 billion, a spokesman said.
The total exceeds the fund's $750 million target.

The previous fund, LaSalle Asia Opportunity Fund IV, closed at $485 million in 2013.
Of the total $1.15 billion raised, 15% is targeted for co-investments, the news release said.
Investors include the $222.5 billion California State Teachers' Retirement System, West Sacramento, the $14.3 billion Los Angeles Water & Power Employees' Retirement Plan and the $2.4 billion Utah School & Institutional Trust Fund, Salt Lake City.
