WATCH: Weill talks customization trend in fundraising

Hodes Weill’s co-founder says managers are finding success outside of blind pool structures.


Doug Weill sees opportunity for managers corralling capital in customized fund structures, despite a continued slowdown in private real estate fundraising in 2017.

The last year has seen a burst of activity in non-traded real estate investment trust launches by managers with a long history in opportunistic funds, for example.

Weill also highlighted multifamily and industrial, among other property types, as areas of continued investor interest.
