Patron Overview
The Patron Funds focus on making opportunistic and value-oriented investments in undervalued and typically liquidity constrained property assets, loans and corporate entities with substantial underlying property value, predominantly in Western Europe. Patron focuses on identifying and unlocking inherent value through investment in a broad range of deal types in which it generally can acquire a controlling stake or structure substantial control over the investment outcome. Patron has a long track record of building value through the repositioning, redevelopment and intensive management of real estate assets and operational improvement of corporate entities and of successfully realising this value at exit.
Patron's objective is to generate superior, absolute and risk-adjusted returns through a diversified portfolio of acquisitions. Investments are targeted with the aim of generating a 17% to 20% gross IRR and a 1.6x -2.0 x + gross equity multiple on invested capital over a three to four year investment horizon.
