Brookdale's investors consist of some of the nation's best known university endowments, foundations and charitable trusts. Through its six sponsored investment funds to date, Brookdale has enjoyed a working relationship with a total of 41 such institutional investors, 37 of whom are investors in the firm's currently active funds.
The Brookdale Group, LLC and Brookdale Realty Services, LLC provide real estate investment services exclusively to the Brookdale-sponsored investment funds. Among the services provided are identification of investment opportunities, evaluation of prospective investments for conformance with each fund's objectives, negotiation and consummation of transactions, and ongoing asset management with respect to the funds' portfolios.
Full investment and liquidation discretion is afforded to the Brookdale affiliate that is the sole general partner of each of the Brookdale-sponsored investment funds.
To ensure that a sharp investment focus is maintained and that conflicts of interest between Brookdale and its institutional investors in each fund are eliminated or minimized, Brookdale has elected not to provide to its investment funds fee-based services such as property management, leasing, or construction management.
