Our Philosophy
We are driven by our goal of delivering institutional quality services to our clients and creating opportunities to directly access the logistics real asset class via a range of strategies.
We share the view that economic, geopolitical, technological, and behavioural shifts are leading to a structural reconfiguration of supply chain networks, which in turn presents opportunities to unlock value.
We seek to be at the forefront of sustainability characteristics by embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into our internal risk assessment process and underwriting.
We believe in partnering with stakeholders across the logistics sector to provide win-win solutions and alignment.
We capitalise on our hands-on approach, granular market access, forensic data analysis, and long-term sectorial experience to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns.
Our Services
We offer tailor-made solutions to provide our clients with direct or indirect access to the logistics real estate asset class.
Our agility, pan-European coverage and proven sectorial experience allows us to deliver customised investment strategies covering the whole risk spectrum.
Our established track record and relationships with best-in class logistics developers and owners allows us to originate unique opportunities.
Our access to key stakeholders across the logistics industry allows us to provide strategic advice across the whole capital stack, including equity, debt, sale-leaseback, or corporate solutions.
