“We again would like to thank the investors in the fund for their support. We expect in an ever-changing market that our strong research platform coupled with our experienced acquisition and asset management team will allow us to find added value opportunities where our active asset management strategy will result in superior returns,” said Zelick Altman, managing director and Canada CEO for LaSalle. “To that end we have already made a number of acquisitions to meet the fund objectives.”
