Our core investment strategies seek to provide investors with an attractive total return, with an emphasis on steady generation of income.

AEW’s core-plus and value-add strategies include investments across the primary property sectors—office, industrial, retail, multifamily, niche strategies—and seniors housing.

The strategies are designed to support the potential for total return, which may include current cash distributions and long-term appreciation.
