BKM Capital Partners Announces First Closing of its Second Institutional Fund With $160 Million in Equity Commitments


Nima Taghavi
            NEWPORT BEACH, CA   BKM Capital Partners, an institutional fund manager with a niche focus on value-add, multi-tenant light industrial investments, has announced the first close of its second institutional fund, BKM Industrial Value Fund II, L.P., with $135 million in equity commitments as well as $25 million in co-investments.
           The firm also currently has an additional $100 million of soft circled equity commitments from European and U.S. institutional investors. 
            The fund is comprised of a mix of institutional investors including a U.S. College Endowment, U.S. State Pension Fund, a large U.S. Insurance Company, a German Trust, U.S. Fund of Funds, and a Canadian Family Office, according to Nima Taghavi, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of BKM Capital Partners.

Brian Malliet
            “Our first institutional fund, which closed in 2016 and is fully invested, has the same strategy as this second fund of acquiring value-add multi-tenant industrial assets throughout major metro markets in the Western U.S.,” says Taghavi.
“Fund I had a target net IRR of 15-percent, but is performing at a 19-percent net fund IRR. Additionally, we recently sold the first three assets in our Fund I, achieving gross IRRs on all three above 37-percent and multiples that ranged from 2.0-2.5.”
            According to BKM’s Co-Founder and CEO, Brian Malliet, the success demonstrated by these returns is a testament to BKM’s niche strategy, execution platform and the growing understanding and demand for light multi-tenant industrial properties across the U.S.
“We have an extremely strong pipeline of value-add investment opportunities, and this $160 million closing allows us to immediately begin deploying capital,” Malliet notes.
“By being strategic in our specific focus and operator execution platform, we will capitalize on the growing demand for properties that serve as ‘last mile’ delivery hubs for retailers and industrial users. This will maximize returns to our investors while we continue to fundraise over the course of the year.”
