Investor interest in aged care fund
Sydney-based fund manager, Spire Capital, claims it has received solid support from local investors for its US aged care private equity fund offered in partnership with US real estate investment manager Bridge Investment Group Partners.
The product, the Spire USA Real Estate Opportunity Capital Seniors Housing and Medical Properties Fund is the second fund to be offered to Australian retail investors by the two companies and aims to raise $50 million as part of a $US600 million global capital raising.

The Seniors Housing fund has received a 'Highly Recommended' rating from research and ratings house, Zenith.
