DIVERSIFY WITH PRIVATE REAL ESTATE
When markets turn volatile, traditional investments like stocks, real estate stocks (REITs), and bonds often move in the same direction, reducing their effectiveness in balancing risk. Ackermann Group helps investors achieve true diversification through our alternative investment platform in private real estate — an asset class historically less correlated with public markets.
Among alternative asset classes, multifamily real estate has consistently demonstrated strong defensive characteristics. With steady rental income, supply–demand fundamentals, and ties to local economies rather than daily headlines, it provides stability and growth potential. That independence makes multifamily a vital foundation for portfolios built to preserve capital and capture opportunity.
DEMAND
Midwest apartment markets are undersupplied. Rising construction costs, limited capital access, and cautious development have slowed deliveries, leaving the region constrained even as the Southeast and Southwest absorb new supply.

CASH FLOW
Investors receive quarterly distributions from operating cash flow. Ackermann Group’s diversified fund portfolio helps stabilize cash flow, reducing distribution fluctuations and enhancing the predictability of investment income.
TAX BENEFITS
Income from real estate investments is generally tax-efficient due to depreciation. Ackermann Group enhances this benefit by conducting Cost Segregation Studies, which accelerate depreciation and help maximize investors’ after-tax returns.
We target secondary Midwest & Southeast US markets where employment growth outpaces apartment supply. Leveraging our extensive operating history, we possess intimate knowledge of these markets, enabling us to identify and capitalize on opportunities that outperform many primary US markets.

Our diligent asset management process maintains each investment through strategic expense controls, capital reinvestment, on site training and development, and the implementation of new revenue streams through enhanced services and fee schedules. This gives us full control over the assets performance and allows us to provide on the-ground insights into the fund in our reporting.
Ackermann Group is uniquely positioned at the intersection of institutional scale and boutique precision. When it comes to private real estate investments, most investors are forced to choose between the deep resources of a national asset manager and the high-touch service of a local operator, Ackermann delivers both seamlessly.
Our platform offers the scale, diversification, and institutional-grade access typical of the largest asset managers. Investors benefit from a strong operational backbone, a seasoned team with a proven track record, and curated access to institutional-quality assets, all designed to meet the expectations of sophisticated allocators.
We maintain the focus, conservatism, and agility that define the best regional shops. Our deep roots in the markets we serve translate into genuine local expertise. We prioritize transparency, offer direct access to decision-makers, and remain nimble enough to adapt quickly to both risks and opportunities. This combination allows Ackermann to provide investors with a rare blend of trust, performance, and relationship-centered value, an alignment that few firms can authentically offer.
