Investment Strategy
- The firm’s strategy optimizes the asset mix by combining lower risk/return investments with higher risk/return profiles to enhance overall performance while reducing risk.
- Lower risk-return strategies include core and core+, while offerings further on the risk-return curve take advantage of value-add, opportunistic and Build-to-Suit (BTS) strategies. We also create private fund structures and SPVs for private clients, while curating public portfolios for retail investors.
- We specialize in generating strong real estate returns by matching top-down research-driven portfolio management with bottom-up specialist real estate investment capabilities. All our offerings are tailored to clients’ risk profiles and objectives.
- We currently manage two attractive income-generating funds (one private and one public) and are constantly innovating attractive new products to match investor needs.
