Strategy

Real Estate as an alternative asset class can offer the benefit of substantial risk diversification from other more typical asset classes such as Bonds or Equities. However we believe that this is only true if the investments are kept in the form of “Real Estate Risk” and are not transformed in vehicles of “Financial Risk” by engaging in aggressive funding structures with excessive Debt.

We believe in achieving Real Estate returns by managing Real Estate Risk with superior professionalism and excellence. We mean by this that, while we favour efficient capital and financial structures we are not believers in complex financial engineering to drive returns at the expense of incremental financial risk.

To achieve this we count with a proficient group of executives with proven careers in Civil Engineering, Project Management, Investment Management and Investment Banking.

We have a single minded approach to each investment looking for pockets of Real Estate risk that, if well managed, can yield good returns for our investors. The strategies for each asset could include one or a combination of the following:

• Acquisition multiple expansion: buying an asset for a price we consider to be cheap, waiting and selling at “fair value”
• Greenfield/Development: managing the Licensing, Design, Build and letting and/or sale of an asset
• Restructuring: redefining best purpose and implementing solutions to restructure an asset and its tenant mix
• Expansion/Refurbishment: procurement and management of the Licensing, Design and Construction of an asset
