Darwin Group has launched its second Guernsey fund which has
successfully raised approximately £100 million in capital at
launch.
The award-winning group's Darwin Leisure Development Fund is
a new alternative investment proposition for UK local authority
pension schemes which will seek to invest in UK holiday parks
showing 'potential' for redevelopment.
This strategy reflects Darwin's overall goal of offering
investment solutions that generate long-term absolute returns which
both enhance capital and provide high levels of income and builds
on the success of the group's first fund, the Darwin Leisure
Property Fund, which has grown to nearly £500 million in
value.
The Property Fund portfolio invests in UK Holiday Parks which
provide tenting, touring caravan, static caravan or lodge
facilities for rental and/or owner occupancy. Many of the parks
also offer leisure facilities such as swimming pool complexes and
catering outlets.
