The CCP 5 fund currently has a gross asset value of €3bn, according to the pension fund.
The fund’s portfolio comprises 52% offices, 28% industrial, 11% residential, and 4% retail assets with other property types making up the remaining 5% of the portfolio. The leverage amount planned for the fund is in the range of 40% to 45%.
