Milwaukee, WI, March 31, 2022 - Hammes Partners, one of the leading institutional investment management firms focused on the U.S. healthcare real estate market, announced the final closing of its third closed-end value-add fund, Hammes Partners IV, L.P.

We are also thankful for our team who has worked extraordinarily hard during the pandemic to continue to deliver exceptional performance for our partners.” Investors in the Fund include endowments, foundations, pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, investment and wealth managers, and fund of funds.

“We are thrilled to have achieved the hard cap that we selected for this fund,” commented Todd Kibler, Managing Principal of Hammes Partners. “Our team is committed to executing our investment strategy with the same rigor that has contributed to our strong financial performance over two decades and across economic cycles. We believe our partners will continue to benefit from our disciplined investment approach, robust investment pipeline, and deep industry relationships.”
