Real Estate Funds & Investors

In today’s environment, existing and newly formed real estate funds face many challenges. The tumultuous economy has made it difficult for existing funds to continue to perform at the superior risk-adjusted returns that investors have come to expect.

On the other hand, while certain new funds find it more difficult to raise new capital needed to get their products off the ground, funds dedicated to investing in distressed real estate assets and debt securities are focused on taking advantage of a robust pipeline of opportunities in today’s domestic and international real estate markets.
