Blueprint: Kayne Anderson’s $5bn haul; Stoneshield’s record fundraise; a holiday park mega-deal and more

Is fundraising for private real estate vehicles gathering steam? This week’s headlines include a pair of notable achievements for managers, beginning with Kayne Anderson.

Meanwhile, PERE can reveal a separate record-setting fundraise by Southern Europe specialist Stoneshield Capital; private REITs and real estate secondaries go under the lens; Aermont pays $1 billion for a UK portfolio; and more in this week’s digest, exclusively for our valued subscribers.
