CRE fundraising: equity strategies for today’s capital markets
Wednesday, September 9 2:00pm ET
Senior leaders from Realty Income, Digital Realty, and Kayne Anderson share what’s driving CRE fundraising success in 2026
The capital markets window is reopening, but selectively.
While overall fundraising is recovering, capital is concentrating at the top, LP scrutiny has never been higher, and the gap between managers who close and those who stall is widening. That's especially true in alternatives, where digital infrastructure, net lease, and other non-core sectors are drawing outsized LP attention.
This discussion brings together senior leaders from Realty Income, Digital Realty, and Kayne Anderson to talk candidly about the equity strategies gaining traction, and the investor questions defining every conversation.
We’ll discuss:
Which equity strategies are gaining traction in today’s capital markets and what is helping managers raise successfully
What investors are asking now and how those conversations have changed over the past 12 months
Where leaders see opportunity and risk across data centers, medical office, net lease, and other high-conviction sectors
How rates, inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty are shaping investment strategy and capital raising
How AI is influencing sector outlooks, operations, and investment decision-making
What the last cycle taught these managers and how it is shaping their strategy going forward
You’ll walk away with direct insights on positioning your strategy in today's selective capital market, straight from leaders actively raising and deploying capital.
