What would be the best postgraduate RE Finance or Finance program to enter to achieve my aim (see below)?
Currently looking at RE Finance MPhil from Cambridge. Interested to see if, given my background (see below), it might be wiser to do a Finance MSc from the likes of HEC Paris and undertake all of the real estate and infrastructure electives?
Aim: Analyst for top REIT/REPE Opportunity Fund
Background: Internships within RE financial advisory, RE advisory & RE fund management (big players)
1st class (GPA=3.5>) Bachelors in RE & Finance (Joint Honours) from non-target with strong RE rep
Anecdotal: I know of someone that placed into a MF associate role out of the LSE program, but they had 3 years of w/e as an analyst
Good to know! I am currently thinking of following a similar path but have been wondering if the MF skillset is transferrable enough to recruit for REPE style positions post-RICS/CAIA/CFA qualification.
I'm not sure I follow - you're wondering how recruiting from a MF to other PE shops would be? Obviously you would have no problem regardless of whatever professional deaignations you have.
Following a similar path in the sense that I'm in the midst of interviewing for a RE investment analyst position with a large MF. And yeah, I'm wondering if recruiting into top REPE from the MF is realistic.
For clarification, by REPE I'm referring to Value Add/Opportunistic fund businesses using the closed-ended LP/GP structures like Blackstone/Oxford Properties/Tishman Speyer. I'm not classing MFs as REPE.
Blackstone is the definition of a Megafund??
