Schroders Capital reaches agreement to acquire Dutch real estate investment specialist

Schroders Capital has further strengthened its real estate investment capabilities and has reached agreement to acquire Cairn Real Estate, a real estate fund and asset management business based in the Netherlands with €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion) of assets under management.

The acquisition will expand Schroders Capital’s client offering in a key European growth market, enhancing our access to Dutch real estate expertise with on-the-ground investment talent to meet the growing investment demand from our institutional investors.

Cairn, which is being sold by MPC Capital, a German investment management group focused on renewables, specializes in a range of sectors, including logistics, offices and healthcare, and is well respected thanks to the strength of its investment proposition and client base.

Established in 2006, Cairn manages assets on behalf of institutional, family-office and private-equity investors across the risk spectrum. Th
