AEW's research-based approach to investment decisions positions its economists to uncover and anticipate new opportunities for investors in dynamic real estate markets across the world. AEW's integrated research teams are on the ground in North America, Europe and Asia to provide a top-down view and a thorough, all-encompassing investment perspective to identify trends, often before they happen.
Our commitment to research and its practical application to decision-making is critical to the success of every investment portfolio we manage. The best research is irrelevant unless the analysis it produces is used in day-to-day decision-making. To help make this critical link, AEW has developed proprietary research tools that translate economic analyses into the kind of insight necessary to maximize investment performance.
