Operational real estate (OpRE) has risen in popularity among institutional investors in recent years, offering a different risk-return profile for investments and consequent changes for investment decision-making, fund structuring and governance. Our new Operational Real Estate course examines this emerging landscape, to help industry professionals gain a deeper understanding of OpRE.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and understand the merits and characteristics of OpRE investments
- Understand the current landscape of OpRE, including key players and sectors
- Evaluate risk and return in OpRE investments
- Better critique vehicle structure, governance and fee models
- Understand how managers may need to adapt to gain operational real estate exposure
- Understand the rationale for institutional investors allocating to OpRE vehicles
Course leader Austin Mitchell, Head of Equity Capital Markets at Lendlease, says
‘INREV has designed this course to create a foundation for investors and managers investing in operational real estate, brought to life through real world, sector specific examples from housing, life sciences and self-storage.’
This course is relevant for professionals who understand the basics of OpRE, but would like to deepen their knowledge on the different risk-return profiles, operating models and fund structuring.
