Since the last distribution, managers have sold four assets for a value of £20.35m with one further property under offer. Another six remain in the market, valued at around £51.5m, while the final £56m will enter the market in the latter half of the year.

Some funds have been retained in order to finance commitments to "ongoing asset management initiatives".

This distribution will reach investors near the first anniversary of the fund's closure, with the initial announcement made on 9 July 2021 and the fund closing one month later.
