Amiri ING UK Real Estate Opportunities Fund
Investment Management Approach – Overview
Investment Objective
To provide an internal rate of return of 14%pa with an opportunistic upside of 19%pa from a combination of rental income and capital growth from strategic real estate investments in the UK.
The Investment
Investors will commit amounts of up to USD25m for drawdown only when suitable investment opportunities are indentified by the Manager. Income distributions will be made to investors on a quarterly basis and are currently estimated at c.10%pa.

The Fund will invest opportunely in all sectors and locations that will benefit from an upturn in market conditions.
