Hi all, does anyone know how Corporate Capital Markets teams at Brokerage firms are perceived in the US? Currently an analyst at one of these teams in London at a large shop (JLL/CBRE/CW) and will be moving out to the US next year (American wife).
Curious whether these teams are viewed in the same light as conventional IS, or whether exits are limited given most deals are NNN and clients are corporates rather than investors.
Appreciate any input!

Broadly…Conventional IS will typically bound you by region, whereas a CCM/NNN team will afford you the ability to move around the US without much affect to your clientele / book of business.
Will it affect exit opps? Think it depends on what industry you move on to… Since you will be underwriting the credit of businesses and building narratives on the basis of the stability of the cashflows just as much as / if not more so than the real estate itself, I think it affords you abilities to transition to traditional PE, institutional sale-leaseback firms & REITs, other retail/industrial/office conventional IS teams if you ultimately decide to exit at some point. At the end of the day it will be dependent on your ability to leverage the skills you learned/developed in that role into the next.
Thank you for the reply! Thats great to hear. Do you think investor-side exit options exist at non NNN funds, or would that be a harder sell? Great to hear there are many other options though.
