Monument Group Advises Phoenix Property Investors on Successful US$1.15 Billion Fundraise
HONG KONG, November 5th, 2019 – Monument Group, one of the industry’s leading placement agents, has advised private equity real estate investment group, Phoenix Property Investors (“Phoenix”), on raising Phoenix Asia Real Estate Investments VI (“Fund VI” or the “Fund”). Fund VI had its final close on US$1.15 billion of commitments, including dedicated co-investment pools, exceeding its US$900 million target.
The investor base for Fund VI, which closed in September 2019, is comprised of leading institutional limited partners including endowments and foundations, pension plans and sovereign wealth funds, across Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East.
“Fund VI is the third fund on which we have advised Phoenix and we are sincerely grateful for the opportunity to have again worked with their outstanding team,” said Robert Mast, a Managing Director at Monument Group. “There was substantial investor interest in Fund VI, owing to the team’s many years of experience as a value-oriented real estate investor. With the close of Fund VI, Phoenix is well positioned to continue its successful Pan-Asian property investment program.”
“Monument Group’s insight and strategic guidance, informed by a deep understanding of Phoenix, our investing approach, and our investor base, proved highly valuable in raising this fund,” said Benjamin Lee, Managing Partner of Phoenix Property Investors. “To date, we have committed to 17 investments from Fund VI, totaling approximately US$424 million. It was a pleasure to work again with Monument Group on a very successful and substantial fundraise.”
In addition to Fund VI, Monument Group advised Phoenix on its two predecessor Asia real estate funds, US$460,000,000 Fund IV (2010), and US$750,000,000 Fund V (2013).
