A unique event designed exclusively for CRE executives and advisors to HNW investors interested in commercial real estate This timely, interactive virtual forum will explore many of the strategies for investing in the commercial real estate space that include, but also go beyond, the traditional public equities strategies such as investing in publicly-traded REITs, ETFs and mutual funds. We’ll explore the new private investment structures investors on both the real estate equity and debt sides of the equation now have access to—and the strategies financial advisors need to know about now when helping their clients.

| Wednesday, November 17th 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST: Climate Risk in CRE: How CRE Professionals Can Measure and Manage the Impacts of Climate Change Growing risks from climate change—such as wildfires, floods and other hazards—are demanding that commercial real estate investment professionals change their decision-making processes both from an economic modeling perspective and a functional one. This panel will discuss the science behind climate risk data, how economists are integrating it into their forecasting models, and how investors, lenders and brokers can functionally integrate this data into their decision-making. | |

| Thursday, November 18th 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST: Return of Core: Real Estate Join FTSE Russell for a lively discussion on the return of core infrastructure where we’ll cover how listed real estate securities represent a substantial proportion of an investment opportunity set. The characteristic features of real estate as an asset class—an often relatively predictable income stream and the frequent inflation-linking of rents, offering the prospect of long-term real returns, together with a relatively uncorrelated return stream by comparison with other equity market sectors—make this category of investment a natural consideration for investors looking to diversify portfolios with long-term savings goals. | |
