Investment Philosophy
Barings’ investment philosophy emphasizes strong governance and transparency as we aim to uncover relative value through proprietary research and local market presence. Our approach allows us to secure opportunities projected to generate superior risk-adjusted returns appropriate to our clients’ needs. We seek to invest capital prudently in private real estate equity, relying on cycle-tested investment and portfolio management experience to guide our decisions. We add value by actively managing portfolios through an integrated team of portfolio management, research, asset management, acquisition and finance specialists, with Investment Committee oversight. We also employ a prudent, pragmatic risk management process.
