At Ascent Holdings we specialize in understanding the dynamics that underlie and drive investment performance in today’s real estate markets, despite a muddling of views among regulators and investors alike in the new, free money era. Following the global financial crisis, expansionary monetary policies of unprecedented scale implemented by major central banks across the globe (primarily those of the so-called “core economies”) have completely redefined the ways in which the global markets operate. At Ascent, it is precisely our unique expertise in the “macroeconomics of today” that enables us to evaluate the domestic landscape through a lens misunderstood by the masses, leading to abundant investment opportunity.
We are not your typical institutional investment manager or hedge fund who stamps a disclaimer on investment performance with the assertion that “we are bottom-up, fundamental equity investors” who “do not attempt to forecast the markets.” Simply put, this verbiage is short for “we try to identify the best investments based on backwards-looking metrics and what we know today; however, the markets could collapse and destroy our performance or recommendations due to macroeconomic or geopolitical factors outside the scope of our consideration.” At Ascent, we go far beyond this basic, fundamental analysis and offer unique foresight into major anticipated (equity and credit) market movements before they materialize.
At Ascent, we believe real estate markets are entering secular bear territory and as a result, our recommendations emphasize relatively low-risk, structured positions in assets whose financials show early signs of deterioration. We also use our internal CPA’s forensic capabilities to identify assets that are the most profitable opportunities.
Our history is investing primarily in real estate, and as the environment evolved we identify opportunities to invest profitably with low-risk. As such, we are experts in the field of alternative investing, real estate.
