About this episode
Clarion’s Brent Jenkins and CBRE’s Zaahir Syed discuss how capital raising for real estate is rapidly evolving. They provide insights on fund development, non-traded REITs, emerging opportunities in private wealth markets and more. Key takeaways on raising and deploying capital: Sourcing real estate capital is diversifying, with growing emphasis on private wealth and new opportunities to tap into the defined-contribution (DC) market. Accessing retail capital and 401k plans through DC channels is potentially a major area of growth, requiring new product structures and daily liquidity solutions. Fund managers must strategically align vehicle structures with investor objectives and market conditions for both short- and long-term capital needs.
