For Institutional Investors

Global Student Dormitory Fund

GSA Coral Student Portfolio is a global real estate strategy focused exclusively on purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in high-demand education markets. The fund targets stable, inflation-linked income and long-term capital growth by investing in a blend of fully operational student housing assets and carefully selected development opportunities in undersupplied urban university hubs. With exposure across the UK, US, Europe, Japan, and Australia, the portfolio is designed to capture strong occupancy, pricing power, and long-term demand growth driven by rising global student mobility and structural shortages of quality housing. The fund is managed by Global Student Accommodation (GSA), a market-leading platform with over 30 years of experience in the PBSA sector and US$6.5 billion AUM across the entire GSA Group platform. As of 2024, GSA oversees more than 98,000 student housing beds across 20+ countries worldwide.

Activist Engagement Fund

Sazalle Engagement Fund is a concentrated Japan equity strategy focused on unlocking value in underappreciated small and mid-cap companies trading at deep discounts to intrinsic value. Through direct, hands-on engagement with boards and management of investee companies, the fund aims to catalyze re-ratings in businesses often trading at single-digit earnings or EBITDA multiples—despite strong fundamentals and clear growth potential. Led by a seasoned team with over 40 years of combined public markets and board-level experience in Japan, Sazalle deploys a disciplined, bottom-up investment process coupled with strategic engagement to drive both operational improvements and multiple expansion. In a market undergoing structural shifts in governance and capital efficiency, the fund offers a differentiated approach to alpha generation.

UK Litigation Fund

The Katch Litigation Fund offers sophisticated investors access to a high-conviction, uncorrelated private credit strategy built on the team’s deep expertise in UK legal finance. Managed by Katch Investment Group—a global platform with over $1 billion in assets under management, the Fund targets high-volume, short-duration financial sector legal claims via specialist law firms with strict case selection, strong legal merit, and attractive recovery profiles. With no leverage, robust downside protection, and favorable return asymmetry, the strategy is designed to deliver consistent and strong risk-adjusted returns with minimal correlation to broader markets. The investment team brings decades of combined experience across structured credit, law, and litigation risk underwriting.
