Gorley has written 59 No.1 singles on US charts, with songs released by artists including Thomas Rhett, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton.<\/p>\n Domain also acquired the master recording and publishing catalog<\/a> of Iggy Azalea in 2022 in a deal reported to be worth eight figures.<\/p>\n Fund II<\/strong> closed above its predecessor: Domain\u2019s first entertainment fund, which closed in November 2022, secured more than $700 million in commitments<\/a>.<\/p>\n The firm also previously deployed an $830 million separate account launched in 2012 that focused primarily on film and television assets.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this fund, we aim to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets that generate cash yield and preserve our investors\u2019 capital under different market conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n Pete Chiappetta, Domain<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Commenting on the latest fund, Pete Chiappetta, Managing Director of Domain, said: \u201cThe entertainment industry continues to experience dynamic growth driven by an evolving distribution landscape and global demand for content.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this fund, we aim to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets that generate cash yield and preserve our investors\u2019 capital under different market conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cWe believe in the long-term value of these assets, the growth of the industry aided by this age of digital content and the ease of access created by streaming platforms and faster mobile devices.\u201d<\/p>\n Domain manages entertainment investments for a range of institutional investors, including corporate and public pensions, insurance companies, university endowments, multifamily offices and wealth management firms.<\/p>\n The firm says its investment strategy emphasizes cash-on-cash returns with low correlation to broader market trends.<\/p>\n Atlanta-based Domain Capital Group says that it manages approximately $8.3 billion<\/strong> in total assets.
