Aviva Investors Recovery II Fund fully invested

Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc (‘Aviva’) today announces that in Q4 2014 it became fully invested on the Aviva Investors UK Real Estate Recovery II Fund.

Launched on 13 September 2013, the fund, which is ungeared, has invested in UK commercial real estate, with a focus on higher yielding assets. 

The fund followed the Aviva Investors UK Real Estate Recovery Fund, launched in 2009, which focused on more prime, long lease-length assets at a cyclical low level.  The original Aviva Investors UK Real Estate Recovery Fund has completed its business plans and has largely sold all its assets, repatriating capital back to investors.  

Anna Rule, fund manager at Aviva Investors, said:

“Since its launch on 13 September 2013, this fund has attracted significant investor interest. We called the market correctly, raised the equity and have been successful in investing rapidly into the market. 

“The fund has been involved in 22 individual transactions, including a number off-market. Over 50% is invested in Greater London and the South East, and is therefore positioned well to benefit from rental growth. 

“Investors continue to look toward higher yielding real estate assets, which remain attractive relative to other low-risk asset classes.”
