Frux closes €350 million fund and plans €200 million data center vehicle
Frux Capital, a private debt manager focused on real estate, has closed its third fund with €350 million in commitments.
The fund is 60% larger than its predecessor, and Frux has already put €200 million into 13 deals.
It expects to invest the remaining money next year, bringing the fund to 20 investments.
