RECAP V held its final close on May 21, 2019, raising institutional capital from North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, including public and private pension funds, university endowments, asset managers, private foundations, family offices, insurance companies and funds of funds. The RECAP V investment strategy is similar to its successful predecessor RECAP Funds, with a focus on acquiring a portfolio of pan Asia-Pacific real estate investments through a disciplined investment approach of targeting undervalued, undermanaged and distressed assets and special situations.
