While public real estate and infrastructure have long been available to DC plans, we believe private real estate equity and debt should also be available to all working individuals—not only large defined benefit plans, wealthy families, and high-net worth individuals. That’s why we were the first to offer DC investors the option to invest 100% in core private real estate equity over 40 years ago and are now offering DC investors the opportunity to invest in a private real estate debt strategy within their multi-asset options. Daily valuation and addressing the liquidity needs of DC participants is in our DNA.
Building real estate equity and debt strategies and infrastructure investments into your DC plan can potentially help:
Increase diversification
Generate income
Reduce portfolio volatility
Improve participant outcomes
Designed specifically for DC plans
Daily traded environment
As an investment sleeve
