Revenue is generated through investment management fees on managed assets, plus asset, property, and development management service fees. The firm markets primarily via direct institutional relationships, industry events, and earned media, with a vertically integrated model designed to align stakeholder interests through flexible investment structures across sector, country, city, asset type, and capital structure.
