- Edmond de Rothschild REIM launches a new value-add strategy dedicated to European light industrial and logistics assets, further strengthening its Industrial & Logistics platform.
- To support this growth, the firm announces the appointment of Niek van Genugten as Fund Manager.
A new value-add strategy for European light industrial & logistics real estate
The strategy will target light industrial assets, which offer a yield premium over big-box logistics while benefiting from structurally constrained supply and greater reversion potential. The core principle is to generate alpha through active asset management delivered by local teams across strong European markets.
Edmond de Rothschild REIM has built a demonstrated track record of value-add mandates and benchmark-beating performance in its open-ended core-plus flagship industrial property fund. This new strategy is a natural evolution of that proven, successful approach, building on over 8 years of managing light industrial and logistics assets within the flagship Euro Industrial Real Estate Fund and underpinned by 25 years of broader industrial and logistics asset management expertise. It is backed by a strong local European platform with on-the-ground presence across 790 assets and 150+ colleagues spread across 7 offices in 5 countries.
