International Real Estate Separate Account
Investment Philosophy
We believe the value of a REIT extends beyond the value of the underlying real estate. Through fundamental research, we can uncover and exploit inefficiencies in the market. Low turnover contributes to alpha creation and aligns investors with the value creation process within real estate. Style and application should be visible and consistent in the investment process. Our style is Growth At A Reasonable Price (GARP). We have consistently followed this style.
