Qualitas has entered into an agreement to acquire the investment management business of UK-based Starz Real Estate, according to a company announcement released recently.
The acquisition is set to expand Qualitas' investment management operations and enhance its exposure to the real estate investment market in the United Kingdom and Europe. Starz Real Estate has built a presence in the real estate debt and investment management sector, providing financing and investment solutions across a range of property assets.
The deal comes as investment managers increasingly look to strengthen their platforms through acquisitions that provide access to new markets, investment opportunities and institutional investor relationships. For Qualitas, the transaction is expected to support its long-term growth strategy by broadening its investment capabilities and expanding its international footprint.
Qualitas is known for managing real estate-focused investment strategies and has continued to grow its platform through investments across various property sectors. The addition of Starz Real Estate’s investment management business is expected to complement its existing operations and provide greater scale to its asset management activities.
The companies have not disclosed the financial terms of the transaction. Further details regarding the integration of the business and the expected completion timeline have not yet been announced.
