British Airways Pension Trustees is among investors that have backed a regional UK property fund managed by Barwood Capital.

The investment manager said it raised £100m (€140m) in funds from high net worth individuals and institutional investors.

Most investors have invested in previous Barwood funds.

The company said the fund, launched , would take advantage of the “positive arbitrageâ€� between primary and secondary assets in the UK’s regions.

The five-year fund will target commercial and residential real estate, with lot sizes of between £3m and £25m.

Joanna Greenslade, managing director at Barwood, said it had identified a pipeline of potential assets.

Barwood previously said it was targeting an annual IRR of 15% for the fund, in which company executives have co-invested around £3m.

Barwood directors Ed Henson and recently appointed Andrew Barlow will source and manage new opportunities for the fund.

Giles King has been appointed fund chairman.
