Fund VI closed at $1.2 billion in commitments, including dedicated co-investment pools, well exceeding its $900 million target. The funds investor base reportedly includes leading institutional limited partners such as endowments and foundations, pension plans and sovereign wealth funds across Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East.
In a prepared statement, Benjamin Lee, a managing partner of Phoenix, stated that the private equity real estate investment group has so far committed to 17 investments from Fund VI, totaling about $424 million.
