Sagard Real Estate Advisors (“Sagard Real Estate” or the “Firm”) was formed as a Delaware limited
liability company on October 16, 2013. The senior management team at Sagard Real Estate, through
its predecessor entities, have been managing investment grade real estate assets for over 20 years.
Sagard Real Estate is wholly-owned by EverWest Holdings Inc. (d/b/a Sagard Real Estate Holdings).
Sagard Real Estate provides real estate investment advisory services for private pooled investment
vehicles including open-end funds and investment series preferred units (the “Funds”), separately-
managed accounts, joint-ventures, and other investment vehicles (each, an “Account”). The Funds,
along with the Accounts, are the Firm’s clients (the “Clients”). Sagard Real Estate’s advisory
services include evaluating investment opportunities for real estate investments and securities related
thereto, investment monitoring, and advising on investment structures, acquisition, financing, and
disposition. Sagard Real Estate provides investment advice directly to its Clients or other affiliates.
Sagard Real Estate tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and restrictions
of each Client pursuant to such Client’s investment guidelines and restrictions set out in the private
placement memoranda, limited partnership agreement, advisory agreement or other documents
governing that particular Client (collectively, the “Governing Documents”). It is assumed that the
terms provided in the Governing Documents differ from Client to Client. A Client’s Governing
Documents often impose restrictions on certain types of investments for tax, regulatory, or other
reasons. Client investment strategies are discussed further in “Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies, and Risk of Loss” in Item 8 below.
In accordance with common industry practice, a Fund or its general partner may from time to time
enter into a “side letter” or similar agreement with an investor pursuant
to which the Fund or its
general partner grants the investor specific rights, benefits or privileges that are not generally made
available to all investors. See Item 8 “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss”
for additional details.
In addition to the advisory services discussed above, Sagard Real Estate or its affiliates often provide
asset management, development and property management services to a Client’s underlying
investments. These services are provided pursuant to additional agreements or can be included
within a joint venture operating agreement, and are further described in such Clients’ Governing
Documents. In addition, in-house personnel of Sagard Real Estate, or its affiliates, provide services
to certain Clients including, without limitation, legal, administrative, and/or accounting, that could
be provided by and paid to reasonably identifiable third-party service providers. Sagard Real Estate
recognizes conflicts of interest exist when using an affiliated service provider. The Client’s
Governing Documents can dictate that the terms of such an engagement with an affiliate can be no
less favorable to the Client than it would be using a comparable, unaffiliated third party. Sagard Real
Estate believes that the benefits of using affiliated service providers outweigh potential conflicts and
has taken steps to mitigate these concerns. Additionally, the Funds often acquire assets through a
joint venture structure with an unaffiliated joint venture partner. In these circumstances, the
unaffiliated joint venture partner will negotiate fees with Sagard Real Estate or its affiliate(s), which
helps ensure that fees charged to the joint venture entity, in which the Fund has invested, are at arms-
length terms.
As of December 31, 2023, Sagard Real Estate had a total of $1,153,272,483 assets under
management (which includes uncalled capital commitments) of which $19,176,418 is non-
discretionary and $1,134,096,065 is discretionary.
