Our vision & beliefs

As a leading real assets investment management firm, we strive to realize potential in investments and people in innovative ways, every day. We do so by creating the sustainable investment solutions of tomorrow so our clients, people and communities thrive.

Our focus on delivering results is driven by our values, entrepreneurial spirit and our clients’ diverse needs. Together, our team specializes in holistic real assets solutions within and across five real assets investment categories, with a distinct approach to driving performance and long-term value.

Our multi-dimensional approach is centred around three pillars:

  • Investor-Operator Capabilities: Our affiliation with CBRE enhances our offering as an investor and operator of real assets. This, coupled with our flexibility to work with other leading service providers, means we can deliver on all aspects of an investment’s lifecycle. We believe this enhances value for both investors and operators.
  • Information Advantage: We see investment management through the eyes of investors, users and occupiers. Combining this unique perspective with extensive data helps to identify actionable insights and solutions for your portfolios.
  • Commitment to Sustainability: Our commitment to sustainability combines green investment principles with social and governance factors, including diversity, equity and inclusion, so our investments, business and people thrive.

Our relationship with clients goes far beyond any single investment idea. We see the world through many dimensions—with multiple perspectives capturing insights across real assets categories, sectors, geographies, risk profiles and implementation formats. We see more, so our clients can achieve more.

Investment process and research
