About us
Validity is an independent private equity real estate investment and asset management firm headquartered in London.
Our first investment principle as a firm is to always try and ensure we preserve the capital invested. Our second principle is to fully explore the multitude of options available to maximise returns. As a result, our approach has generated exceptional returns for our investors since we were founded in 2017 with an average IRR of over 21% as of summer 2019.
Validity is active in the UK, Germany, Romania, and Greece and its partners have advised on more than £3 billion of acquisitions.
What we do
01.
Core Opportunistic
Our core opportunistic business searches for undermanaged, well-located assets in niche market segments. We undertake the whole process from acquisition, development management to completion. We set up or partner with businesses to manage the underlying assets and ultimately optimize their value by implementing best-in-class management as part of these acquisitions. We also invest in the properties once they are acquired to develop them before selling them and repaying capital to our limited partners. We mitigate risks by implementing several safeguards while keeping our opportunistic return profile.
02.
Value-Add
Our real estate value-add strategy seeks to create value through asset repositioning, renovation, new capital structures and other active management strategies. The strategy targets assets across the main property types (industrial, logistics, office, residential, retail and leisure) in both primary and secondary markets.
03.
Brand Growth
We develop genuine investment partnerships with outstanding growth companies in Residential, Hospitality and F&B industries. We build a platform along with our investors for growth through flexible and patient funding. Our approach is to scale up great concepts and expand into several markets.
