Investment Management Services
Strategy Development and Portfolio Design. TIM provides advice and guidance on the
development of real estate investment portfolios. TIM works with clients to develop and
implement effective strategies to achieve appropriate return and performance objectives.
TIM incorporates risk management throughout the strategic planning phase and consistently
utilizes various tools including customized investment policies and guidelines, investment
limitations and restrictions to mitigate certain risks.
Real Estate Purchases and Sales. We provide advice to our institutional clients on matters
dealing with the acquisition, sale, development and management of real estate, as well as
recommendations to achieve effective alignment of interest in real estate related services. We
do not invest in or manage publicly traded securities for our clients.
Portfolio Management Services. Our firm assists clients by selecting and acquiring real
estate assets to create a customized portfolio designed to match the client’s return objectives
and tolerance for the various risks associated with real estate asset investments. TIM utilizes
third party independent research and its own proprietary investment evaluation tools,
striving to optimize potential returns and to minimize the potential risks related to any
specific strategies. TIM may present these recommendations to the client
for approval or
implement its recommendations where TIM has been delegated discretion in writing by its
client to do so.
Research / Performance Measurement / Reporting. TIM provides performance reports to
the firm’s clients, consolidating individual investment information as needed. Portfolio
composition is monitored and reported by a variety of different attributes. Performance
reports on individual real estate investments may also be made available to clients as
stipulated in the specific investment management agreement with the client. Our goal is to
provide appropriate information and transparency to allow our clients to monitor their
investments effectively.
Other Services. TIM can and does: (i) attend meetings with its clients (including boards,
committees and staff) on an as-needed or regularly scheduled basis, and (ii) provides
incidental functions as required to effectively assist (for non-discretionary clients) or direct
(for discretionary clients) investment and portfolio management activity consistent with
institutional portfolio management practices.
The exact scope of services provided to each of TIM’s clients depends upon the terms of the
investment management agreement negotiated with each client. We provide customized
advice and recommendations to our clients based upon the research, portfolio management
practices and investment processes conducted by our investment professionals. Significant
investment decisions, recommendations and portfolio construction decisions are fully
reviewed by the appropriate investment officers or investment committee, prior to being
released to non-discretionary clients or discretionary clients.
