BENGALURU: Starwood Capital Group said on Friday it had raised $10 billion for its latest real estate fund, bringing the U.S. investment firm’s total assets under management to over $95 billion.

The fundraise for Starwood Distressed Opportunity Fund XII exceeded the $7.6 billion it had raised for a similar fund in 2018, the company said.

The Miami, Florida-based firm has already closed or committed to 25 deals requiring over $3.5 billion of equity, it said.

Besides the United States, these investments were made in firms in Australia, England, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Japan and Spain, the company said.
