A Student-Run Investment Fund Focused On Real Estate

The only source of knowledge is EXPERIENCE.

- Albert Einstein​​

​​Partners Real Estate Fund has three primary goals.

  • Help students gain valuable experience related to real estate.
  • Earn an adequate risk adjusted return for our investors.
  • Find ways to add value to our partners.
Our name highlights our strategy to meet those objectives. Partners Real Estate Fund (PREF) partners with universities to help students gain experience. We partner with industry leading firms on projects and investments. And we leverage the experience of our partners on the investment committee and advisory board to help the students acquire key skills and knowledge.
PREF leverages the experience of our partners and advisors to help mentor students through the rigorous process of evaluating real estate investments. Students gain experience, build their network, learn how to create value in real estate, and develop the skills and abilities needed for a successful career.

Experience

Our team of student interns gain experience by analyzing potential real estate investments across multiple property types in various stages of the real estate life cycle. ​

Network

Students work with real estate professionals from the investment committee, advisory board, and with our network of partners to develop their skills and expand their network.

Value Creation

Students create value by vetting and sourcing projects, allocating capital efficiently, and improving their career prospects. ​

Tools

Students develop their abilities to analyze projects, collaborate with teams, synthesize models and forecasts, perform research, and present their work to partners and investors.

Partners​

No road is long with good company

​ - Turkish Proverb

This type of venture is only possible because of our excellent partners. The timelines and breadth of most real estate projects are not feasible to manage through a student-run platform. Instead of trying to take a project from cradle to grave, we always partner with companies and professionals that do much of the heavy lifting. Not only do our partners do the heavy lifting when needed, they take a hands on approach to mentoring the students and are an invaluable resource.
