Summary
LaSalle Investment Management, the global real estate investment manager, has secured more than £300 million of additional capital from a longstanding UK local authority pension fund client, according to reports covering the mandate top-up. The new commitment expands an existing direct UK property mandate and takes total assets under management for the client's portfolios to £1 billion once the capital is fully deployed.
Coverage describes the client's decision as following a sustained period of outperformance by LaSalle's UK direct property investments. The reports refer to the investor only as a local authority pension fund, and the available material does not name the client or disclose the specific properties or sectors the capital will target.
The mandate expansion is a notable vote of confidence in LaSalle's UK direct real estate platform at a time when institutional pension investors are scrutinising real estate allocations. Further details on deployment timing and portfolio composition were not available in the sources reviewed.
