Deep expertise
in real assets
Real estate
Investing in global institutional real estate requires perspective and experience developed across multiple economic and investment cycles. A multi-manager, open-architecture approach allows The Townsend Group to build durable real estate investment strategies with quality investment managers that cover the spectrum of risk profiles, geographic focus and investment structures. From core to non-core, global or regional, we use a variety of investment vehicles, including primary funds and co-investments, while seeking to accomplish your investment objectives.
Real assets
Infrastructure, timber and agriculture investments, as part of a diversified portfolio, can deliver many benefits, including stable cash flows, growth potential and low correlation. For over 15 years, The Townsend Group has worked with clients to identify, research and select real-asset investments to complement and contribute to portfolio objectives. Increasingly clients are turning to Townsend to create long-term investment strategies that include real assets.
