The deal brings Sator's assets under management to around €800 mln, across eight real estate funds.

Carlo Puri Negri, who is president of Aedes SIIQ, is also president of Sator. As a result of the deal, the Rome-based private equity company moves its headquarters to Milan.

The news follows the announcement in May that Sator had acquired a 95% stake in Aedes Real Estate for around €7 mln.

The sale enables Aedes SIIQ to move towards a direct property ownership model in line with its conversion to REIT-status as of 1 January 2016, rather than managing real estate for third parties.
