Strategies Team Views

Our approach

We focus on targeted locations and sectors, developing a deep knowledge of local markets, building strong relationships with key players and gaining an unparalleled access to selected real estate opportunities.

Our team’s technical expertise combined with strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration, allows us to create value for investors in European real estate. We have a proven advantage in market access, and in our ability to deploy capital quickly and efficiently.

Benefits

Diversification

A range of investment opportunities spanning the full risk spectrum.

Illiquidity premium

The private nature of the assets and networks needed to access them typically command an illiquidity premium.

Liability-matching

Predictable long-term cash flows to match long-dated liabilities.

Key risks

Investment risk

The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.

Real estate risk

Investments in real estate may not be able to be sold, realised or liquidated when you want because real estate assets may not always be readily saleable. If this is the case, we may defer your request or instruction regarding your investment. Investors should also bear in mind that the valuation of real estate is generally a matter of valuers’ opinion rather than fact.

Strategies in focus

Real estate debt

Real estate debt

Senior secured debt of varying maturities, fixed or floating rate, on commercial property such as offices, retail, or logistics. Clients benefit from regular cash flows and the added security of high-quality collateral.
