Why real estate
Historically, private market real estate has featured a combination of traits not found in other asset classes: long-term earning potential and effective diversification beyond the stock market.
Wealth preservation and growth
Alternative assets like private real estate have historically offered a unique combination of lower volatility than stocks and higher potential returns than bonds. This mixture can anchor your portfolio, smoothing out the wild ups and downs of the public markets
Built for the future
Our portfolio aims to harness the most powerful long-term macroeconomic drivers of the U.S. economy. Trends like increased demand for well-located residential assets across the sunbelt to the explosion of eCommerce-driven industrial spaces.
Income generation
For many investors, the ability to create consistent income—via equity ownership in apartment buildings or single-family rentals that earn income through rental payments, for instance—is one of the most attractive aspects of real estate investing.
Superior diversification
Private market assets are less likely to be affected by market fluctuations, helping reduce risk and improving your long-term financial stability—even during sustained periods of economic uncertainty.
