Asset Management Services

Strategy conceptualization

We work closely with our clients/investors to understand their unique needs and objectives in relation to their real estate assets/portfolios. The work envisaged may entail enhancing the performance of the asset in terms of yield, an acquisition of an asset or a portfolio, an asset repositioning strategy or a new development concept. 

We synthesize the end objectives with relevant market research and create a business plan or an investment memorandum as the situation demands. As a result, we articulate a concrete strategy and roadmap to achieve the desired objectives. 

Development Management

We see our role here as acting on behalf of the client providing advice on key areas of development management and sharing best practices on international products, construction projects from inception to exit.

Avista Asset Management runs the entire development management project on behalf of the client which includes selecting and managing planners/architects, quantity surveyors, interior designers and main contractors. 

We take responsibility for crafting a development budget and a project plan while managing the entire project from start to end.

Portfolio Management

Real estate is an integral component of businesses and corporations. Some clients/investors have a portfolio of real estate assets and seek out professional real estate asset managers to manage their portfolio and increase the portfolio’s performance. 

Avista Asset Management adds material value firstly by understanding the client’s objectives, creating an implementation strategy and road map. We own the process right through the execution phase, till delivery of the envisaged outcomes.

Some client mandates are more complex than others. They can range from improving net operating incomes of a portfolio to remodeling of assets. We help clients in managing a distressed portfolio of assets and advising on monetization/exit from the portfolio.

Fund Management

Avista Asset Management has significant experience in this domain. We are adept at serving Institutional investors, Financial Institutions (Banking & Insurance), Sovereign Wealth Funds, Family Offices from Europe, Middle East and Asia.

We have worked with these clients according to their specific needs in respect of structures be it a commingled fund, a single asset mandate / managed account and/or a pledge fund structure across various jurisdictions..

We work closely with the clients/investors to understand their desired investment structures. Based on professional Legal & Tax advice, we help in the setup of Funds / Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV).

Financing

In certain situations, our client’s projects/assets need additional capital to deliver a value-added outcome. 

We work closely with our partners to raise Equity, Debt, Mezzanine and/or Project Financing to achieve the project’s objectives.

Acquisition & Divestment

We assist our investors in acquiring assets depending on their investment criteria. We work with our network of asset owners and service providers who have assets for sale and/or are looking for partial divestment in a joint venture framework or an outright sale. 

The acquisition process led by us on behalf of the investor includes conducting due diligence on the target asset which encompasses a review of Legal ownership, Taxation, Structural diligence, M&E and Environmental impact analysis. We further develop an asset management plan for acquisition and model the investor’s financial returns. 

We also examine the best available debt options so that the investors’ returns are maximized. Once the asset is acquired, we are responsible for the ongoing asset management.

The old adage in real estate investment is that investor returns are only experienced on an exit event. We believe that for every investment, there should be minimally two to three exit scenarios.
