What are Alternative Investments?

Alternative investments refer to asset classes that are not part of the traditional options, such as stocks, bonds, or cash. Types of Alternative Investments may include real estate, private equity, hedge funds, mortgages, and more. These investments can offer unique opportunities for portfolio diversification, risk management, and enhanced returns – often behaving differently from public markets.

Why Multi-Family Apartments?

Multi-family apartments are the cornerstone of Alitis Private REIT’s investment strategy for several compelling reasons. This asset class is renowned for its stability, consistent demand, and ability to generate reliable cash flows.

Here’s why the focus on multi-family apartments in Canada makes sense:

  • Demand

    The ongoing need for affordable and conveniently located rental housing from urbanization trends, affordability challenges, and the aging population looking to downsize, ensures a reliable tenant base, even during economic downturns.

  • Economies of Scale

    Owning and managing multi-family apartments is more cost-effective than managing individual residential properties through shared maintenance costs, streamlined operations, and professional management.

  • Lower Vacancy Risk

    Multi-family properties inherently reduce the risk associated with tenant vacancies with a diversified tenant pool and high occupancy rates.
