BGO Strategic Capital Partners has invested in real estate secondaries since its inception in 2002, navigating diverse economic and market conditions over multiple cycles. In 2014, BGO SCP launched its first dedicated secondaries strategy, in response to the growing market opportunity for real estate secondaries. Secondaries are also offered through separately managed accounts. Our investment strategy focuses on GP-led recapitalizations of individual assets and portfolios, providing tailored liquidity and capital solutions to existing investors while enabling high-quality sponsors to continue executing their business plans. We seek attractive entry points into assets aligned with our global investment themes and opportunities to partner with experienced GPs where we have strong conviction in both the underlying real estate and the path to value creation. We source opportunities by leveraging our integrated investment platform, deep secondary market expertise, and broad global manager network.
In addition to the BGO SCP flagship series, BGO SCP utilizes the team’s broad capabilities and the natural synergies stemming from its three complementary strategies to create customized real estate programs. Mandates are tailored by strategy (primaries, secondaries and co-investments), geography, risk/return profile and property types, among other themes, and offer varying degrees of investment discretion, allowing the investor to be involved in the investment decision-making process, as desired. We work collaboratively with our clients to meet their investment objectives.
