Corporate Profile

Moorfield Group is a UK based real estate and real estate related investor, developer and private equity fund manager.

Moorfield manages two real estate private equity funds for third party investors: the Moorfield Real Estate Fund; and the Moorfield Real Estate Fund II (both of which we also invest directly in) as well as holding historic investments directly through Moorfield Group Limited and subsidiaries.

Moorfield has a diverse and flexible approach to real estate investment and development that is reflected in its corporate structure, which can generally be categorised as follows:

  • Real Estate Opportunities Team – this team looks at investment in single assets or portfolios of assets that provide investment income or development profit and often require active asset management initiatives to enhance value.
  • Corporate Opportunities Team – this team looks at indirect real estate investment opportunities through corporate acquisitions, joint ventures, the provision of venture/development capital, the provision of debt or mezzanine finance and investment in listed companies, debt or derivatives.
  • Asset Management Team – this team looks after the assets/opportunities acquired and implements proactive asset and financial management initiatives to enhance value. With regards direct real estate, these initiatives include building extensions, redevelopment, change of use or planning consents, refurbishment, tenant management, refinancing etc. From a corporate perspective we will look at reorganisation, business planning and budgeting as well as financial and personnel corporate support etc. Within the Moorfield asset management team there are specialisms that include; real estate (investment and development), legal, corporate finance, planning and operational.
  • Finance Team – this team monitors and reports the financial performance of our investments, manages our banking relationships and looks after the day to day accounts of the group.

The boundaries between each of these teams blurs frequently and this cross utilisation of skills enables us to consider a wide range of opportunities and to evaluate each from broad and varied angles.

In order to facilitate the formation and management of MREF/MREF II and the structure of transactions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Moorfield Group, Moorfield Investment Management Limited is utilised. This company is regulated by the FSA and is also a full member of the British Venture Capital Association (BVCA) and the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA).
