These Strategies Achieve Stellar Risk-Adjusted Returns in Retail
Description
Sigmund Cos. is challenging the status quo in retail investment with alternative investment strategies that are delivering value.
Institutional investors have been hard focused on core grocery-anchored shopping centers for years, but the retail market has attractive opportunities beyond those properties. Under the leadership of managing partner Wright Sigmund, The Sigmund Companies has focused on convenience- and necessity-based retail in edge markets and lifestyle centers in larger markets to deliver the same risk-adjusted returns. Sigmund was recently named a retail real estate influencer by GlobeSt.com for his pioneering strategies that deliver meaningful value in alternative and often overlooked retail assets. Sigmund sat down with GlobeSt.com to discuss investment opportunities in retail including:
- How to underwrite opportunities in necessity-based retail and lifestyle retail centers
- The importance of using tenant mix, lease-up and capital improvements to drive value at the property
- How the firm is using technology and AI to drive efficiency and remain competitive
