Key risks (from latest filing)
["Real estate sector downturn or declining performance of real estate securities would directly reduce assets under management and fee-based revenue, particularly given 63.8% portfolio concentration in real estate.","Commercial real estate distress, including office properties with low occupancy, tenant defaults, and elevated interest rates affecting refinancing, could negatively impact real estate valuations and client returns.","Constraints on real estate investment capacity due to REIT ownership limits, consolidation in the sector, and competition for limited investment opportunities could limit growth and asset deployment."]
