MetLife Investment Management Closes $390M SFR Fund 

MetLife Investment Management (MIM) has successfully closed the MetLife Single Family Rental Fund, LP, with $390 million in capital commitments.  

“We have a high level of conviction in the demand for single family rentals, and we see this fund as a natural extension of our experience investing in other housing segments, where our perspective as a leading institutional investment manager has served clients well,” said Robert Merck, global head of Real Estate and Agricultural Finance at MIM.  

The fund aims to tap into the demand for single-family rentals. The commitments came from a global group of institutional investors, marking the first closed-end vehicle launched by MIM’s real estate equity team.  

The fund is managed by James Ray. MIM’s real estate platform encompasses both commercial mortgage loan strategies and real estate equity strategies, totaling $111.2 billion in gross commercial real estate assets under management as of March 31, 2023.
