Our real estate-focused strategies are diverse across the risk spectrum, including: OPPORTUNISTIC We invest in middle-market opportunities. Platform approaches each investment opportunity with an eye towards the appropriate location within the capital stack where downside risk can be minimized and where we believe outsized returns can be achieved. Platform believes this flexible capital is crucial in limiting the negative impact economic cycles can have on returns, and provides the advantage of being able to move quickly as situations arise. CORE PLUS Our core plus strategy focuses on acquiring stabilized properties with a strong operating history and established market position. These investments aim to provide predictable income to investors, capital preservation, and appreciation over time through active and thoughtful asset management. TAX STRATEGIES Certain real estate investments provide investors with potential tax benefits that may reduce and/or defer tax payments, resulting in the potential for stronger long-term cash flows and returns. We apply our disciplined middle-market investment approach to help clients execute their tax strategies through both actively-managed and passive investment vehicles.
