“What about the capital management side of the asset management? For me, what that is is the investor experience beyond agreeing, and committing, and funding a deal, what happens through the five-year hold period? How does that communication occur, how is that investor experience? Is it good enough that they’re now wanting to invest with you on your next project that might be running concurrently with an open project?” — @veenajetti [0:02:24]
“We invest alongside every single one of our investors. It is our money just as much as theirs, and being able to communicate that, and share what is happening and how you are handling the situation in a way that is appropriate and is reassuring for your investors, I think that’s the most important thing.” — @veenajetti [0:09:43]
