Calling all investors in real estate funds!

This is the second session in our new initiative, Property Investors' Voice.  Exclusively for Investors in real estate funds and open to any and all qualified investors using property funds, no AREF membership required.

At these quarterly group video-call sessions, we invite you all to come together for 45 minutes and set your own agenda. Let’s discuss what matters to you as investors.

To help the open discussions along, each session will be co-hosted by our Managing Director, Paul Richards, alongside one of AREF’s Investor Members.

Virtually everything AREF does is ultimately for the benefit of the end-investors of our member funds. So why not come along and get involved with the discussion.   

We are here. We are listening.
