Custodial REIT has officially launched on the main market of the London Stock Exchange.

The initial placing and subscription offer for the £130 mln (€156 mln) vehicle was oversubscribed.

Simultaneously, Custodian REIT completed the earlier-announced acquisition of a seed portfolio of 48 properties, valued at over £95 mln (excluding associated borrowings) and split across all property sectors and 90 separate tenancies.

The fund will use the remaining £55 mln of new funds raised to invest in a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate.

Custodial was created by UK pension and wealth management business Mattioli Woods.
