Argosy-Lionbridge Management (ALM) is an asset management firm focused on fundamental and special situation investments in publicly traded real estate securities. ALM extends the private real estate investment strategy of Argosy Real Estate Partners ($2.5 billion* of real estate assets under management through ten discretionary real estate private equity funds) to the public real estate securities market. More details on Argosy Real Estate Partners can be found at www.argosyrep.com. ALM seeks to capitalize upon recurring pricing inefficiencies and the liquidity provided by the public market to opportunistically invest across real estate asset classes, companies and positions in the capital stack of companies. We believe that market cycles and the lack of opportunistic capital focused on the public real estate markets can create opportunities to identify mispriced securities. We believe ALMs investment strategy, which focuses on intrinsic value and, when required, the selective use of corporate activism, benefits from Argosy Real Estate Partners real estate private equity investment strategy. This combination of public and private market knowledge enhances ALMs capabilities to identify differentiated investment opportunities. *AUM includes $2.3 billion of gross assets where Argosy Real Estate Partners holds controlling interests and $222.9 million of unfunded equity commitments as of Q3 2022.
