Dave Graham, communications manager at OP&F, has confirmed the commitment. This is a follow-on investment to the series. OP&F committed $35 million to Exeter Industrial Value Fund II in April 2011.

The fund will primarily invest in major distribution centers. It has a target unlevered return of 10 percent and a target levered return after fees of 13 percent to 14 percent. The fund has target leverage of 65 percent.
