2016 Conference Panels: A Look Downstream: An Analysis of Investment Trends
The 2016 Hodes Weill Institutional Real Estate Allocations Monitor and its findings will be discussed and summarized at the Cornell Real Estate Conference. Immediately following the presentation by Dustin Jones and Douglas M. Weill (SHA ’88), a panel discussion on the topic of current global allocations will take place. The discussion will focus on the trends discovered via the survey and the implications for real estate investment markets around the world.
The panel will be moderated by David Hodes, managing partner at Hodes Weill & Associates. Panelists will include senior investment professionals from leading global institutions including GIC, ADIA and Ivanhoe Cambridge. Baker student Ershad Chagani (Baker/MBA ’19) expressed anticipation for the panel, saying “the Hodes Weill and Investment Trends panels complement each other well. After observing the breadth of data in the report, it will be helpful to hear from actual real estate investment practitioners about what is driving those trends and their decisions.”
