Our global real estate strategies are managed with the goal of delivering attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns. Our investment approach combines fundamental market knowledge and listed market expertise with a disciplined and systematic investment approach. We seek to add-value through top-down research-driven portfolio design and bottom-up securities selection based on intensive and proprietary fundamental company analysis.

Our global strategies invest primarily in the developed markets of North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific but may make opportunistic investments in emerging market economies. We maintain diversified exposure to commercial real estate sectors including office, retail, industrial, residential, healthcare, and hotel properties.

Our flagship real estate offering, the CBRE Clarion Real Estate Strategy provides diversified exposure to the U.S. commercial real estate sectors. The portfolio provides exposure to the range of property sectors including office, retail, industrial, apartments, healthcare, hotels, and other emerging property sectors including student housing and data centers. The strategy is available through a separate account or through a mutual fund and variable annuity products.

CBRE Clarion’s Global Listed Infrastructure Strategy seeks to generate meaningful outperformance versus the global infrastructure securities market.  A high conviction risk-aware approach drives our strategy which is unconstrained by index bias. Our investment process is designed with the goal of adding value through both fundamental research-driven asset allocation and superior stock selection.  We focus the portfolio’s investments on companies that own, manage, develop, or operate core infrastructure assets which are the essential building blocks of economic growth and vitality.

CBRE Clarion's midstream energy and MLP strategies are designed to help investors benefit from the growth in energy production and related infrastructure investment in the U.S. and Canada. Portfolios are actively managed with the goal of providing clients with attractive total returns and high current income.  We seek to achieve our goal through a combination of a top-down analysis of energy sector trends and bottom-up stock selection. Our proprietary analysis identifies companies we believe have the most attractive combination of distribution safety, distribution growth, and valuation.

Midstream energy companies and MLPs play a critical role within the energy value chain. They provide the essential link between Upstream energy producers to the Downstream companies which refine and distribute energy-related products. Advances in shale extraction and drilling technologies are contributing to the continued growth in oil and natural gas production throughout North America.
