More about Magnus Care Group
Having recently acquired Bothwell Castle, a newly developed care home in an affluent suburb of Glasgow, Magnus Care Group plans to work with Care Concern to acquire further resident care homes to build out its portfolio and two additional locations are in the pipeline. Throughout this process, Magnus Care Group will focus on refurbishing properties, enhancing standards of care and increasing bed occupancy where appropriate.
The team behind Magnus Care Group previously developed a portfolio of care homes with Downing managed funds and had a successful exit in Summer 2018, achieving returns well in excess of expectations.
Julia Groves, Head of Downing Bonds and Partner at Downing LLP, said:
“The Downing team has honed real expertise in the care sector, having invested in our first care home back in 1998. Our success in this area of the market is also demonstrated through our recent exit from five care home projects in March 2018.
“This offer is more complex than our more standard Bonds, therefore it’s likely to be better suited to more experienced and confident investors. Although past performance is a not a reliable indicator of future performance, a key reason why Downing is happy to list a Bond with a 90% LTC is the strong track record of Magnus’ management team combined with the controls that Downing LLP, as security trustee, has in place. All of this gives us confidence that the Bond can provide generous rewards for investors who are able to take on additional risk.”
