Mercer Real Estate Partners, the real estate private equity firm based in the UK, announces that it is changing its name to Castleforge Partners, effective as of 17th October 2016.
Commenting on the change, co-founder of Mercer, Brandon Hollihan said: “Following successful growth over the past five years, we are delighted to unveil the new name and brand identity as we move into the next phase of the company’s development. We believe the new Castleforge name and branding successfully encapsulates our company’s ethos and core values that have held us in such good stead up until the present time.”
Castleforge Partners will continue to invest in multiple asset classes throughout the UK and across the capital structure. Castleforge will also maintain its focus on investing thematically, directly managing its assets and carefully controlling for downside volatility. In July Mercer successfully achieved the final close of its second fund, Mercer Real Estate Partners II; the fund closed above its target with £235 million in total discretionary commitments from a diverse group of institutional investors in the US, UK and Europe.
