IP Secondary Fund II, Aquilius’ second flagship real‑estate secondaries vehicle, closed with more than US$750 million in commitments, surpassing its US$700 million hard cap. The firm has now secured US$1.1 billion across its flagship and related vehicles, drawing a broad spectrum of global institutional investors—sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, financial institutions and family offices.
Founded in 2021 by former Partners Group and Blackstone Asia executives Bastian Wolff and Christian Keiber, Aquilius has become Asia’s largest real‑estate secondaries platform, employing 30 professionals. The firm targets LP‑led and GP‑led transactions across the Asia‑Pacific, focusing on “new‑economy” sectors such as logistics, life sciences, data centres, hospitality and living. AIP SF II has already deployed roughly 50 % of its commitments across eight deals.
The founders note that the fundraise reflects a growing appetite for Asian real‑estate secondaries amid market volatility and liquidity needs, and that Aquilius remains committed to delivering scalable, efficient liquidity solutions and attractive risk‑adjusted returns.
