EUROPE – There are two new searches, for Asia-Pacific equities and pan-European real estate, on IPE-QUEST.

The first (QN507) is for $50-100m in actively managed Asia-Pacific large-cap equities, tendered by a Danish pension fund.

All styles will be reviewed and the benchmark is the MSCI Pacific NDR. A three-year track record is required and managers are requested not to call the fund.

The second (QN508) is for pan-European real estate worth up to $5m, conducted by a firm of independent financial advisers domiciled in Cyprus and regulated by the Central Bank of Cyprus.

The primary performance target is absolute return with 3-4% above LIBOR being optimum.

The firm expects to invest in a pooled fund structure on behalf of retail clients located throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Managers should be able to demonstrate a minimum 12-month track record.

The closing dates are September 9 and 12 respectively.
