LSM Management is pleased to announce the successful final closing of Axes Credit Partners' latest credit fund, having raised EUR 140 million for exclusive investment in the hospitality sector of commercial real estate across Europe. The fund, which was fully subscribed, marks a significant milestone in the firm's growing presence as a trusted placement agent for alternative investment strategies.
The Axes Credit Partners Hospitality Credit Fund is targeting an IRR of 14% to 16% and an equity multiple of 2.5x to 3.0x over the fund's projected investment horizon of four to five years. The fund is designed to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns, leveraging the potential for value creation within the recovering hospitality sector, particularly in high-demand European markets.
Axes Credit Partners will utilize newly raised capital for hospitality credit assets across premium European markets.
"We are proud to have supported Axes Credit Partners in bringing this compelling credit opportunity to market. The strong investor demand underscores the quality of the strategy and the resilience of the European hospitality sector as a destination for institutional capital."— LSM Management
Investment Strategy and Focus
The fund's strategy centers on providing credit solutions to operators and owners of high-quality hotels and resorts across Europe. By targeting the intersection of hospitality operations and real estate-backed lending, the fund aims to capitalize on a structural gap in the market where traditional lenders have pulled back from the sector.
"This final close is a testament to the confidence that institutional investors have placed in our team and our ability to source and underwrite attractive hospitality credit opportunities across Europe. We look forward to deploying this capital into a robust pipeline of deals."— Managing Partner, Axes Credit Partners
