Fund II began quickly investing the money raised in warehouse and logistics projects across Europe. Current projects are in Austria, the Netherlands, France, Poland and Germany. The projects are valued at €200 million GAV (gross asset value). Each investment is analyzed in detail by the investment committee and is carried out in accordance with the fund's allocation policy, which aims, not only to provide an attractive return of 15 percent per year in euros, but also to build modern facilities.
Future plans
The success of Fund I as well as Fund II has confirmed the need for Newport Logistics Fund III S.C.A SICAV-RAIF, which this time aims to raise €300 million to develop 10-12 facilities across Europe. It currently has two projects already secured, the first to be developed north of London in the UK.
