DIFFERENT FROM THE REST
Our Strategy
Standard Management views that long-term growth and appreciation in select real estate strategies are integral to an investment portfolio, as an uncorrelated return to the stock market, and as a vehicle to hedge against inflation. We are conservative in nature and perpetually concerned for the downside. As such, leverage is used modestly.
Standard Management’s current macro allocation of time and dollars is 70% directed to multi-family investments with a long-term hold view, and 30% to Commercial asset classes with a short to medium-term hold plan. The long-term hold view is rooted in the principles of capital preservation and reliable dividends. Shorter-term opportunities include the turnaround of assets in a variety of classes, both on a fee basis and as a bridge lender.
