BGO has made its strongest showing yet in the 2025 PERE 100 rankings, rising to third place among the world’s top private real estate managers. This achievement reflects the firm’s $5 billion increase in fundraising over the prior year and its commitment to providing tailored, risk-conscious investment solutions to institutional partners. CEO John Carrafiell attributes BGO’s momentum to a consistent track record, customized co-investment strategies, and the trust built with investors during a complex capital-raising environment.
As fundraising cycles stretch to nearly two years, BGO’s flexible and collaborative approach stands out in a sector marked by volatility and consolidation. Its focus on delivering client-specific solutions rather than rigid fund structures has helped it thrive amid shifting investor expectations. With institutional capital increasingly concentrating among the most reliable managers, BGO’s ascent signals its growing influence and adaptability in global real estate markets.
