SC Capital Partners has secured commitments, including pledges from two global institutional investors, for up to JPY122bn (鈧�880m) for its new Japan Hospitality Fund.
The Singapore-based manager held the first close of the opportunistic fund with an initial commitment to the strategy of JYP61bn with a further top-up option to increase total commitments to JPY122bn of equity for the fund which was first mooted in August last year. Details of the two global investors were undisclosed.
