Strategy Overview 

Franklin Real Asset Advisors (FRAA) source high-quality, difficult-to-find, private real estate investment opportunities worldwide to construct portfolios that are diversified by property type, geography, vintage, asset strategy and time horizon. Investments are sourced strategically using FRAA’s established research-driven process, which has been time-tested through various market cycles.  The strategy aims to provide absolute returns with greater portfolio diversification than would typically be available from investment in a single fund.

Key Features

“Buy, fix, sell” philosophy

FRAA’s approach is driven by targeting mid-market, non-core assets where there is a clear opportunity to create value by improving and stabilizing the quality of cash flow from the asset with the goal of exiting the property into the core real estate market.

Dedicated multinational team

A global team with a strong network of specialist local operating partners. FRAA’s approach is shaped by local insight, capitalizing on local expertise and on the inefficient nature of private real estate markets.  

Improved risk/reward profile through diversification 

FRAA invest in carefully selected real estate transactions, thereby spreading investment risk among a variety of property types, geographies, and operators.

Important Information

This material is intended to be of general interest only and should not be construed as individual investment advice or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any security or to adopt any investment strategy. All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a strategy will meet its objective. The value of shares and income received can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Performance may also be affected by currency and exchange-rate fluctuations. Reduced liquidity may affect the ability to sell assets and have a negative impact on the price of the assets. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. Where a strategy invests in emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Where a strategy invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the strategy. Where a strategy invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified strategy. Investments may also be exposed to operational risks, being the risk that operational processes may fail, resulting in losses as well as other risks (that can be outside of their control).
