CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC (“CBREIM Listed Real Assets” or “we” or the “Firm”) is
the listed real asset solution within CBRE Investment Management (“CBREIM”), a global investment manager of
real asset solutions, including capabilities in global private equity real estate, private infrastructure, and listed
real estate and listed infrastructure. CBREIM Listed Real Assets specializes in managing portfolios of real asset
securities, including listed real estate, listed infrastructure, and midstream energy for institutional clients.
Real estate securities include securities issued by Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Real Estate
Operating Companies (“REOCs”), and other companies with significant real estate activities. We define real
estate activities to include owning, operating, leasing, developing, managing, brokering and/or selling
commercial or residential real estate, land, or certain forms of infrastructure. We define an infrastructure
company to have significant activities in owning, developing, managing, or operating infrastructure assets.
Infrastructure assets include transportation assets, utility assets, energy assets, and communication assets.
Midstream energy includes companies that engage in the extraction, transportation, processing, and storage of
fossil fuels and certain fossil fuel byproducts. Master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are a form of publicly traded
partnerships which generate income from midstream infrastructure operations and related activities.
We focus on equity securities, primarily common or preferred stock listed on a recognized stock exchange. For
particular mandates, we may invest in fixed income securities, MLPs (or other publicly traded partnerships), or
equity-related securities.
We generally manage client portfolios on a fully discretionary basis for a variety of investment objectives across
several types of investment mandates. We primarily manage client accounts in a particular asset type (i.e., real
estate, infrastructure, or real asset blend) and according to a primary investment objective, such as Total Return
or Income-Oriented. Further, our investment mandates are generally defined by geography, such as global,
regional, or country-specific.
The combination of investment objectives and investment mandates results in one or more investment models
used to manage client accounts. Client accounts with similar investment objectives and similar investment
mandates are managed in accordance with a similar model. A client can impose unique investment restrictions
and guidelines which will be honored in managing the account. More information about our investment process,
discretion, and how we service clients is contained throughout this brochure.
As of 31 December 2023, CBREIM Listed Real Assets managed approximately US$9.47 billion in discretionary
client assets for approximately 50 client accounts.
