Increased total return potential: REITs have the potential to enhance portfolio returns with historical outperformance compared with U.S. equities and bonds.
Multiple diversification benefits: Exposure to diversified property types with low correlations to other asset classes; complementary to a private real estate allocation.
Historical inflation hedge: REITs have outperformed equities during high inflation environments
Liquidity: More liquid than direct ownership of property and provides immediate exposure to diversified real estate.
Our experienced investment teams provide comprehensive, specialized, and sustainable capabilities across all four quadrants of commercial real estate—public equity, private equity, public debt, and private debt—and more recently, infrastructure investing. Whatever real estate strategy or combination of strategies you believe is right for your objectives, we can help.
