Bond giant Pimco has raised $5.5 billion to buy bank assets in the U.S. and Europe and has closed the fund to new investors, according to a person familiar with the fundraising.
The Bank Recapitalization and Value Opportunities II fund, or Bravo II, is being led by deputy chief investment officer Dan Ivascyn and will target a range of unwanted assets on the balance sheets of banks, including residential and commercial real-estate assets.
Investors are lining up to snap up the unwanted loan portfolios and real-estate assets. Many of the targets lie in Europe, where banks have been busy shrinking their balance sheets primarily to meet stricter capital requirements.
Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that two of Italy's biggest banks, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA and UniCredit SpA, were in talks with U.S. private-equity firm KKR regarding the sale of some of their restructured loans.
