Explore the potential advantages of investing in REOCs.

For institutional investors seeking a more customized approach to their real estate investment strategy, REOC initiatives can help broaden the available investment solution mix, with the potential upside associated with entity ownership. REOC entities can be involved in a variety of real estate investment businesses, but will often specialize by property type, geographic region, and investment style. The size of the entities can also range from start-ups to established platforms.
  • Exclusive or more permanent access to real estate transaction pipelines.

  • Participation in value gain of REOC investment by selling the platform at some future point.

  • Enhanced control—not just of the investment strategy but operating considerations, including staffing levels through different cycles.

  • Enhanced alignment of interest, transparency, and focus of sponsorship on client goals.

  • Reduced net investment management fees and/or diversified investor earnings from third party capital fee revenue generation.

  • Opportunity to structure the investment to maximize institutional owner/investor tax efficiency.
