Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Swedish asset manager Coeli is partnering with real estate specialist Peter Norhammar and NRP Anaxo Management to launch a new long/short equity fund focused on real estate. Coeli Norhammar Property L/S Fund will operate as a Nordics-focused real estate fund that maintains a concentrated portfolio of 10 to 20 companies. The fund will have the flexibility to take both long and short positions and use a wide range of derivatives to adjust net market exposure or reduce exposure during adverse market conditions.
The fund is managed by Swedish real estate expert Peter Norhammar, who has managed real estate funds for over 20 years. Before joining NRP Anaxo Management in 2020, Norhammar served as the responsible portfolio manager for Länsförsäkringar Fastighetsfond from January 2015 to July of 2020. He also worked at Alfred Berg Kapitalförvaltning for nearly three years, including as Head of Swedish Equities and Portfolio Manager, and spent over 14 years at SEB Investment Management in various roles, including Chief Investment Officer of Swedish Equities.
Norhammar currently manages two real estate-focused funds at NRP Anaxo Management: NRP Anaxo Nordic m2 and Avanza Fastighet by Norhammar. He will now manage a third fund in a collaboration between Coeli Asset Management and NRP Anaxo Management. Coeli Norhammar Property L/S Fund is an alternative investment fund offered exclusively to Coeli’s clients and investor network, as well as institutional investors. Classified as an Article 8 fund under the SFDR, the fund incorporates an integrated and systematic approach to assessing sustainability.
“Real estate is an asset class with a very strong historical return, and it feels incredibly fun to launch a new fund together with Coeli in the unique market situation as we now see in the property market.”
