Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Sponsor Kick-off for the Ohana Real Estate Investors Hotel & Hospitality Investments Bridge Program, powered by Project Destined. We were honored to have Franco Famularo, President & Chief Investment Officer of Ohana Real Estate Investors, lead the session. Franco provided an in-depth overview of the firm’s strategic approach, highlighting their equity and credit platform and the critical factors that drive their investment performance. One of the most valuable insights was the emphasis on adaptability in the face of an ever-evolving real estate landscape. Franco underscored the importance of flexibility in Ohana’s investment strategy, which allows the firm to swiftly adjust to shifts in the hospitality sector, whether due to changing consumer preferences or broader economic fluctuations. This strategic agility not only positions Ohana to capitalize on emerging opportunities but also strengthens their ability to manage and mitigate risks. I’m eager to delve deeper into these concepts in the sessions to come and apply them in my future endeavors.

On the first day of their New York City trip, students from our International Study Course had the privilege of visiting Brookfield Asset Management, one of the world’s largest global investment firms, with $1 trillion in Assets Under Management (AUM). The meeting provided our students with an in-depth look at strategic investments, advanced capital structures, and insights into New York City's corporate culture. We're grateful to Rudder Zhang and Adam Coe for sharing their valuable insights into Brookfield's operations! Key takeaways from the team's meeting: 💫 The use of SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies) has significantly declined, largely due to new SEC regulations that have extended the process, making it less attractive to firms. 💫 Brookfield's Special Investments division, a relatively new part of their private equity arm, focuses on high-risk, high-reward investments for firms in financial distress, structured through debt financing or minority equity positions. 💫 Brookfield does not compete on the cost of capital. Instead, their value proposition lies in the strategic expertise and operational support they provide to client firms, emphasizing the long-term value they bring rather than purely financial considerations. Thank you to the Brookfield team for providing our students with valuable learning opportunities and a comprehensive view of the asset management landscape in the United States and particularly New York City! #UWaterloo #SAFabroad #InternationalStudyCourse #AssetManagement #StudentExperience #UWaterloo #StudyAbroad #LearningInAction

In spite of London's well-established status as a global powerhouse and a top destination for international capital, it was unable to avoid the market turbulence in 2022-23, resulting in a 49% decrease in investments. The increase in borrowing costs had a negative impact on investor confidence, leading to a decline in global real estate investments. Deals exceeding £100 million, which play a vital role in driving investment volumes, were the most affected during this downturn. These investors heavily rely on leverage, but the rise in interest rates made financing less appealing, resulting in a decrease in such transactions. Despite the challenging times, some investors are hopeful for a rebound, as seen in Blackstone's recent purchase of 130-145 New Bond Street for £230 million, which could potentially spark more significant deals. Could this be the opportune moment to take advantage of the market's recovery? We have analyzed some key factors to consider.

Very excited to launch Australia's only dedicated Alternative Real Estate Investment Summit taking place March 4th in Sydney. Alternative assets have become essential in meeting the evolving needs of the market, something which is reflected in the total value of Australia’s alternative real estate sector - currently estimated at $235 billion. This is roughly equal to the size of Australia’s retail and logistics sectors combined! There has never been a better time to bring together institutional investors, fund managers and advisory firms to explore the opportunities, challenges and strategies for investing in alternative assets globally and locally.  #alternativeinvestment #alternativerealestate #realestatefunds #institutionalcapital #capitalmarkets Property Funds Association of Australia Yardi SQM Research Agora RE Roderic McLauchlan Leon Siakos Adrian Harrington
