Philosophy
Brennan Investment Group believes the industrial property sector offers compelling investment opportunities to achieve returns that will outperform established benchmarks.The Company’s Investment Philosophy has seven basic tenets:
Alignment of Interest
Our principals co-invest alongside our partners in every transaction.
Transparency
Our co-investment partners are entitled to know about every aspect of our organization and any detail about our investments.
Industry Experience
A good fiduciary must have deep sector experience as well as significant capital markets expertise, in both the public and private markets.
Focus on Key Elements
Acquisitions must have four characteristics: (i) a proven, in-fill location; (ii) functional attributes appropriate for the market; (iii) priced at a significant discount to replacement cost; (iv) in-place income whose growth, and sustainability, can be verified.
Assumption Fallacies
Investment decisions are based upon high probability occurrences. Expected returns are presented as ranges that more properly reflect risk.
Investment Priorities Discipline
Our history has shown that we can enhance our returns by focusing on opportunities with favorable seller circumstances, transactional complexity, or where expertise at the property level can mitigate operating risks.
Selling Discipline
The depth and duration of both the property and capital market cycles make it imperative that there is expertise, and discipline, to execute a sales strategy.
