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.
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 and which are falling short
What the best risk-adjusted opportunities are in a bifurcated market
How to make investment decisions when tariffs, rates, and geopolitical uncertainty are all in play
What investors are asking most right now and how those conversations have changed over the past 12 months
What investor preparation time reveals about LP priorities
What the past cycle taught these managers and how it’s influencing 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.
