Having hosted the first close in April, SROA Capital Fund IX secured $230 million of capital commitments against its $750 million target fund size. Seventy-five percent of the capital commitments came from re-up investors including insurance companies, foundations, health systems and single\/multi-family offices. The firm&#8217;s investor base is composed of a diverse group of leading real estate investors, including public and private pensions, insurance companies, foundations, global asset managers, wealth managers and family offices.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&#8216;To have closed on a third of our target on first close is a very encouraging start to our Fund IX fundraising,&#8217; said Owen Holm, Managing Director of Investor Relations at SROA Capital. SROA expects to host two more closes this calendar year and anticipates a final close to take place next year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>About SROA Capital, LLC<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">SROA Capital, LLC is a vertically integrated real estate investment and technology company focused on investing in self storage properties nationwide.
