The fund aims to capture an early mover advantage by developing a portfolio of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in Portugal and Spain. An undersupplied and fast-growing sector, high-quality PBSA assets are lacking in markets where both local and international student populations have continued to see strong and steady growth.

The manager, advisor and development managers bring together considerable specialist PBSA expertise to develop an operational portfolio of 3-4 student housing schemes, which, once occupied and stabilized, will be sold to longer-term investors. Returns from development profit and income generated in each scheme are distributed to investors in the later years of the fund.
