The fund will pursue value add investments and targets a net return to investors of 13-14%.
Genesta is looking to secure a total of €350-400 mln of commitments, making this fund roughly twice the size of its predecessor. Capra Global Partners, the private equity capital markets advisory group, advised Genesta on the capital raise.
