Portfolio analysis
Our portfolios are constructed based on a well-diversified mix of asset type and geography with long-term target weightings based on expected risk-adjusted return analysis. Market research is conducted on an ongoing basis to support informed portfolio decisions within the target ranges.
Investment analysis
Each asset held within our portfolios or considered for new investment undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure that only high quality properties that are consistent with our portfolios' targets are included in our portfolios.
Performance monitoring
Each asset held within our portfolios is individually monitored in all aspects of its performance and then collectively the portfolio results as a whole are similarly monitored.
Taken together, these qualities may make core real estate an attractive opportunity worthy of consideration in prudently diversified portfolios.
