Taaleri's new housing fund raised EUR
58 million in the first round of
funding Taaleri Housing Fund VIII raised EUR 58 million in
the first round of funding. The fund is the first one established
jointly by Taaleri and Aktia Bank. The fund will start its
investment activities at the beginning of 2022.
The fund builds high-quality and energy-efficient rental housing
projects in Finland's three largest growth centers, i.e. the
Helsinki metropolitan area, Tampere and Turku. The fund is a real
estate private equity fund classified as Article 8 product under
the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, and as such is
a pioneer in the Finnish real estate market. The fund promotes
sustainable development by investing in properties that meet
defined ESG criteria for the environmental and social
responsibility and good governance. At the same time, it
contributes to the achievement of the EU's environmental
objectives, paying particular attention for example to the energy
efficiency and carbon footprint of sites.
The fund is, as its name implies, the eighth housing fund set up
by Taaleri. Taaleri was one of the first to launch a housing fund
in Finland in 2009, after which the company has exited five funds.
The latest exit took place in the summer of 2021, when Taaleri
Asuntorahasto VI Ky was sold to a pan-European real estate fund
managed by the German PATRIZIA AG. All exits have been successful,
exceeding the set return targets.
“Aktia's fundraising has been a success with the sale launched
in October. We can be very proud of the outcome of the first,
swiftly closed round of fundraising. This is a great indication of
the market demand for a new responsible housing fund and the
successful cooperation between Taaleri and Aktia,” says Essi Sten,
Managing Director of Taaleri Real Estate.
The fund's appointed portfolio manager is Investment Director
Jan Hellman, who has also been responsible for several of Taaleri's
previous housing funds. Portfolio management is supported by
Taaleri's experienced real estate organization, whose core
competencies cover the entire life cycle of the fund, from first
investment activities to exit from the fund.
