Real Estate Capital Flows & Mandates

Seeking new mandates, the Chicago FABF issued an RFP targeting non-core real estate investment managers as the fund seeks to diversify away from legacy allocations. This search aligns with broader market observations that capital is diverging from traditional reallocation patterns, meaning proceeds from private real estate sales are not necessarily returning to the originating asset classes. Separately, in the infrastructure space, data suggests that fund size directly impacts fundraising timelines; formerly, larger funds closed fastest, whereas smaller vehicles historically required the most time on the road to secure final commitments.
