The benefits of investing in private real estate

Real estate has historically provided strong risk-adjusted returns and low correlations to other assets, such as stocks and bonds.

STABLE INCOME

Commercial real estate is often held for long periods of time, providing the potential for income via contractual payments from rents and leases.

DIVERSIFICATION

Given the low correlations with listed REITs, stocks and bonds, direct real estate can provide true diversification in an investment portfolio.

ATTRACTIVE RETURNS

Real estate offers the potential for operating income, appreciation, inflation protection, and lower volatility.

Our clients can access both equity and debt investment strategies across the risk/return spectrum through commingled funds and separate accounts.
