At REI, our goal is to grow our assets under management with clients who share our investment philosophy. Investors work with us to leverage our breadth and depth of experience in real estate investing through both funds, separate accounts, and programmatic joint ventures. Throughout our history, we have developed an efficient and streamlined investment process, and with the support of our parent company New York Life Insurance Company, we are well positioned to create tailored solutions that suit your ongoing investment needs across our investment platforms.

Why Invest with Us?  

Experience
With over 100 years of real estate investing,1 our team of over 175 professionals average 19 years of industry experience and provide valuable market insights and creative solutions.

Track Record and Relationships
Our level of expertise, wide range of industry relationships, and market reputation provide our equity, debt, and securities teams with an advantage in deal sourcing and help us generate consistent transaction volumes and maintain a compelling track record.

Mandate Selectivity
We are selective in which products and solutions we launch to limit the number of overlapping mandates. In turn, this helps support more effective capital deployment for our investors.

Alignment of Interests
Assuming the strategy meets the needs of the parent company, we can make meaningful co-investments alongside our investors. This ensures strong alignment of interest. We are focused on working with like-minded investors who share the same philosophy and objectives.

Financial Stability of Parent Company
Our parent company, New York Life Insurance Company, has the highest ratings currently awarded to any life insurance company in the United States.2
