AREF FutureGen Network*
Educational Series 2021
Event 2 : Investment Selection and Initial Deployment of Capital

Thursday 24th June 2021

Sponsored by Carey Olsen, we are delighted to invite you to the first, in our three part 2021 educational series bought to you by the AREF FutureGen committee. This year's series, 'Real Estate: The Investor's Perspective' follows on from our previous two years of successful instalment.

The FutureGen network is targeted at young professionals in the first ten years of their careers in Real Estate and our objective is to provide an engaging educational and networking platform for the future leaders of our industry.  In this virtual series, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of the investment manager in an indirect real estate portfolio, from the beginning to the end of the process - including pitching to clients and agreeing a mandate, constructing a diversified portfolio and managing that portfolio once established. We are joined by a great selection of speakers and we do hope you are able to join us.

*Future generation = staff in the first 10 years of their career / not in a senior management position
