Access to non-core real estate globally

While most sophisticated institutional investors have no problem acquiring core real estate assets in their home market, digging down deeper into non-core real estate in far-away geographies can be daunting. Exposure to such assets can bring welcome diversity to a "plain vanilla" portfolio, but they can be difficult to value. Furthermore, unfamiliar local business practices and regulatory requirements could have an outsized effect on an investment's long-term performance. LGT Capital Partners helps investors overcome these obstacles. We focus on acquiring non-core assets predominantly in North America and Europe, leveraging a dedicated team of experienced investment professionals, who are experts in identifying the risks of these specialized properties.
