Episode 388: Cohen & Steers Launches Tool to Aid Investor Real Estate Allocation Decisions
Jeff Palma, senior vice president and head of multi-asset solutions at Cohen & Steers, was a guest on the latest episode of Nareit\u2019s REIT report podcast.
Palma discussed the launch of Real Assets Compass, an interactive tool designed to help institutional investors and financial advisors make informed decisions about strategic allocations to listed and private real estate.
\u201cWe feel that there's an education gap among clients, institutional and individual investors alike, about some of the benefits of real estate,\u201d Palma said. \u201cDespite the evidence that we have that historically real estate has positively contributed to both returns and diversification benefits in broad multi-asset portfolios, it's sort of been an under-owned asset class,\u201d he noted.
