Direct Real Estate

ING Clarion Partners offers a range of private equity portfolio options in both commingled fund and separate account formats to support the investment objectives of our institutional clients.

• Core portfolios – low risk:  operating and substantially leased properties in strong markets; diversified across the five major property types:  office, retail, industrial, multifamily residential and hotel.  Low-to-moderate leverage; income typically generates about two-thirds of total portfolio return.
• Core-plus/value-added portfolios – moderate risk:  properties requiring some capital for re-positioning, re-leasing or enhancement.  Leverage enhances returns; total return over the holding period is generally divided equally between income and appreciation.
• Opportunistic portfolios – higher risk investments with the potential to achieve higher levels of return over the holding period:  new development, less-traditional property sectors, properties with significant leasing risk; higher levels of leverage.

With more than 25 years of private equity real estate experience, ING Clarion has experience with strategies across the risk/return spectrum.
