STRATEGIES

Listed Real Estate

Global listed real estate may play an integral role in a multi-asset class portfolio for both offensive and defensive reasons. Global listed real estate can offer international diversification, generate a relatively high level of current income and provide liquidity. It may also reduce volatility and provide low correlation with other asset classes as well as diversification across continents, countries, and sectors. CenterSquare’s strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of global real estate securities identified as undervalued vs. their peers to seek high, risk-adjusted returns for our clients.

CenterSquare also believes that a responsible approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues makes good business sense and enhances shareholder value. Please refer to the CenterSquare ESG Policy for more information about the incorporation of ESG considerations into our listed real estate investment process.
