Aberdeen Investments is to take full control of Tritax, which oversees the listed Big Box Real Estate Investment Trust.

Tritax is an asset manager investing in critical supply chain real assets aligned with structural trends including digitisation, automation, urbanisation and green energy. 

It runs the publicly listed FTSE 250 fund Tritax Big Box REIT plc – which has a current market value of more than £4 billion – as well as a growing suite of private market products. Together they own and manage assets across the UK to deliver logistics solutions for clients.

Since Scottish firm Aberdeen made its original investment under previous chief executive Stephen Bird, Tritax has grown assets under management from £5.1bn to around £9bn, while revenue has increased approximately 13%. 

Aberdeen’s phased acquisition of Tritax will see it move from its current 60% interest to 80% in April 2026 and a 100% interest in 2029.
