| We have been trusted advisors to institutional investors throughout numerous market cycles--from the real estate recession of the mid-seventies to the recovering markets of the mid-nineties. Central to our success over the years is the broad base of experience that we enjoy at REFG. Our knowledge of the real estate marketplace is comprehensive and cuts across the spectrum of commercial developments and geographic marketplaces in the United States.
Together with our real estate subsidiaries, John Hancock Real Estate Finance and John Hancock Realty Advisors, we currently manage over $12.1 billion in client assets, including commercial mortgage, CMBS, CDOs/CBOs, real estate funds, REITS, affordable housing tax credit equity investments and equity real estate portfolios on behalf of both institutional investors and John Hancock.

|
|
|
We believe that our informed perspective provides value to clients in all aspects of real estate investment management. Moreover, this experience has shaped our investment philosophy, which is based on two simple principles that guide our approach to real estate investment management.
|
| • |
Real estate markets are inefficient. Changes in economic and capital market trends create opportunities to exploit these inefficiencies.
|
| • |
Real estate markets are cyclical. Understanding the operating characteristics of each property in the context of its local market is crucial to superior property and portfolio performance. |
We actively seek opportunities to capitalize on changes in economic or capital market trends. Our relationship with a network of independent correspondents across the country is a valuable resource that helps keep us attuned to local markets. The superior financial strength of John Hancock is another distinct advantage. Finally, our investment record is outstanding - our commercial mortgage portfolio has outperformed the benchmark of American Council of Life Insurance mortgage delinquency experience. |
