Gaw Capital Partners announced the final close of its sixth Greater China/Asia Pacific real estate fund, Gateway Real Estate Fund VI, at $2.2 billion.
A Gaw Capital news release Wednesday said the Hong Kong-based manager, with $23 billion in assets under management as of June 30, also secured $800 million in "sidecar" co-investment commitments.
Fund VI's $2.2 billion came from both new institutional clients as well as clients invested in the firm's previous funds, with 46% based in Europe, 37% from Asia and 17% from North America, the news release said. The fund will mainly target real estate assets in Greater China, with select exposure in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Singapore, Southeast Asia and Australia.
