Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Moorfield Group?
Marc Gilbard, the co-founder and CEO, leads investment decisions at Moorfield Group alongside a senior leadership team that has been with the firm through multiple fund cycles. The firm's investment committee draws on decades of direct UK real estate experience. Key principals beyond Gilbard are not widely publicized in detail, reflecting the firm's private partnership structure.
Does Moorfield Group participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Moorfield primarily operates through its own closed-end commingled funds, the most recent being Moorfield Real Estate Fund V, which closed at £330 million in October 2023. In addition to the main fund vehicle, the firm maintains a co-investment program for larger limited partners seeking additional exposure to specific transactions. Moorfield does not market itself as a fund-of-funds manager.
What property sectors does Moorfield Group typically target?
Moorfield targets UK commercial and residential real estate across multiple sectors including logistics, office, student accommodation, build-to-rent residential, and retirement living. The Audley retirement village portfolio and a build-to-rent joint venture with EQT Exeter illustrate the breadth of its operational repositioning strategy. The firm focuses on assets where active management and development can unlock value.
How does Moorfield source its real estate deals?
Moorfield sources deals through a combination of longstanding broker relationships in the UK market and its reputation as a credible closing party built over three decades. The firm's vertically integrated in-house asset management team gives it visibility into off-market and complex situations where operational expertise is required. Moorfield does not disclose a proprietary external network or formal co-investor club for sourcing.
Is Moorfield Group structured as a family office or an institutional fund manager?
Moorfield is a private, partnership-structured institutional real estate fund manager, not a family office. It raises capital from UK and European institutional investors through blind-pool closed-end funds. The firm has no publicly disclosed connection to a single-family wealth origin, despite occasional market confusion due to its private partnership structure and London-based real estate focus.
