The firm is known for its real estate expertise, efficient execution, and conflict-free advice, being 100% employee-owned and managed.
The acquisition is strategically aimed at integrating Hodes Weill's deep expertise in real assets with Chatham Financial's existing capabilities. This move is expected to create synergies by expanding service offerings, enhancing global distribution networks, and leveraging Hodes Weill's long-standing industry relationships. Chatham Financial gains a seasoned team and a robust platform for advising on capital formation across real estate and infrastructure markets.
