Milan, 19 September 2024 – Green Arrow Capital, one of the leading independent Italian operators in alternative and sustainable investments, announces the Group’s expansion into real estate investments with the launch of the “Mi.To Real Estate Investment Fund” (“Mi.To” or “Fund”), focused on the mid-sized residential real estate market, with a primary emphasis on Milan and Turin.

The initiative is part of the Group’s broader growth strategy, which focuses on becoming a key player in the Real Estate asset class, which complements Green Arrow Capital’s existing presence in alternative investments (“Clean Energy & Digital Infrastructure”, “Private Equity” e “Private Credit”). Thanks to the “Mi.To Real Estate Investment Fund”, Green Arrow Capital reaffirms its commitment to sustainable investments, focusing on digitalization and urban regeneration. The fund is marked by its high technological content, in line with Art. 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Targeted at private and institutional investors, the Mi.To Fund has set a fundraising target of €150 million over the next 18 months, with an investment product featuring unique characteristics within the Real Estate asset class. Mi.To is defined by its high level of digital integration, commitment to sustainability, and the proven track record of key partner Crea.Re Advisory in the real estate sector, alongside Green Arrow Capital’s expertise in sustainable alternative investments. The Fund has successfully achieved its first closing, reaching the €40 million target in a remarkably short time, and has simultaneously executed its first investment with an avant-garde residential development project in the heart of Milan.

The Mi.To Fund boasts an innovative business model, based on a strong digital component, and benefits from Crea.Re Advisory’s Real Estate expertise. The company is exclusively dedicated to the Fund’s support. Alongside Green Arrow Capital, the shareholders of Crea.Re Advisory include CreaRe Group and its Milan-based branch, Stabile Holding. With over €300 million investments since 2017, Crea.Re Group and Stabile Holding are unique players in the Real Estate sector, establishing themselves over the years as local partners for leading institutional investors. The partnership between Green Arrow Capital and Crea.Re Advisory integrates local Real Estate networks, financial expertise, and institutional management, while leveraging technology to support the origination, management, and exit processes. This is all done through a dedicated platform that allows investors to track the progress of the investment’s entire lifecycle.

Green Arrow Capital’s ESG approach is also found in the Mi.To fund, which focuses on urban residential regeneration projects with minimal environmental impact, that feature low-emission buildings, renewable energy use, sustainable design and materials, and the creation of green spaces for the community.

“Mi.To Real Estate Investment Fund” has garnered considerable interest from private clients, also due to the chance of gaining early access to the sale of residential units developed through the Fund’s investments. This not only provides the potential for double-digit returns on invested capital, but also allows for direct investment in the underlying real estate.

Alessandro Di Michele, Managing Partner and General Manager of Green Arrow Capital, commented: “We’re entering the Real Estate market by capitalising on the Group’s expertise in alternative and green investments. This marks our first steps towards becoming a leading player in this highpotential asset class, where we will ensure value creation and significant returns for our investors. Our projects will focus on sustainable and technologically innovative urban regeneration, with the goal of becoming the leading Real Estate fund in the Milan-Turin area. This marks our first initiative in this key asset class, with further strategic projects already in progress”.

Pierpaolo Fraudatario CEO of Crea.Re Advisory, stated: “This partnership represents a pivotal step in our growth, as well as an important opportunity to maximise our expertise in origination, structured finance, and Real Estate management. We firmly believe that our digital approach to the Real Estate market, combined with institutional management applied to the mid-sized residential sector, will drive success and innovation for both our partners and investors. The Mi.To fund marks the beginning of a series of initiatives we plan to develop in the near future”.
