We're delighted to invite you to the last, 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 instalments in 2019 and 2020.  Thanks to Carey Olsen who are this years sponsors.

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're joined by a great selection of speakers and hope you're able to join us. To book your place and for more information, please see below.
