El panorama de los mercados privados está experimentando una disrupción sin precedentes, lo que crea desafíos y oportunidades para los inversores sofisticados. En un episodio reciente de Peachtree Point of View, Greg Friedman conversó con Brandon Sedloff, director inmobiliario de Juniper Square, para analizar el estado actual de las inversiones alternativas y revelar estrategias viables para afrontar el complejo entorno de mercado actual.
La gran división de los mercados privados
La industria de la gestión de inversiones está siendo testigo de una polarización dramática. Como explica Sedloff, estamos presenciando un «efecto barra», en el que los megageneradores, con cientos de miles de millones en activos, siguen creciendo de la mano de actores especializados en nichos muy especializados, mientras que el «desordenado medio» se convierte en un territorio cada vez más difícil.
Este cambio presenta un punto de decisión fundamental para los inversores: alinearse con megagerores diversificados o asociarse con firmas especializadas que demuestren una amplia experiencia en segmentos de mercado específicos. En palabras de Sedloff: «Lo que el mercado necesita, lo que el mercado quiere es diferenciarse... la gente quiere grupos que sean especialistas, que tengan un nicho de mercado y que comprendan a la perfección los mercados en los que se encuentran».
Para los inversores, esto significa reevaluar las asignaciones actuales y, potencialmente, reasignar el capital de gestores generalistas a verdaderos especialistas.
Oportunidades emergentes en la dislocación del mercado
El prolongado ciclo de desapalancamiento y dislocación del mercado ha creado oportunidades únicas para los inversores preparados. Tres tendencias clave están remodelando el panorama:
Productos centrados en la liquidez: Con la ralentización de las distribuciones tradicionales, los inversores exigen estructuras de inversión más flexibles. Esto ha impulsado la innovación en los productos de fondos semilíquidos y a intervalos, que proporcionan liquidez periódica sin sacrificar la rentabilidad del mercado privado.
Expansión del patrimonio privado: El aumento de la participación minorista en los mercados privados representa un cambio masivo en la asignación de capital. Los médicos de cabecera sofisticados se están expandiendo más allá de los canales institucionales tradicionales para convertirse en redes RIA, corredores de bolsa e inversores individuales acreditados.
Excelencia operativa: Los gestores de inversiones están aprovechando la inteligencia artificial y la tecnología avanzada para crear una «alfa operativa», lo que genera valor adicional a través de un análisis de datos superior, relaciones con los inversores y administración de fondos.
Tres conclusiones clave para los inversores
Posiciónese para el futuro
El entorno de mercado actual recompensa a los inversores que actúan con decisión, mientras que otros permanecen paralizados por la incertidumbre. Las empresas que prosperan en este ciclo son aquellas que cuentan con experiencia especializada, una infraestructura operativa superior y estrategias de diferenciación claras.
¿Está listo para profundizar en estos conocimientos del mercado y aprender cómo los líderes de la industria afrontan los desafíos actuales? Escuche la conversación completa en el podcast Peachtree Point of View para descubrir estrategias adicionales para maximizar la rentabilidad en los dislocados mercados actuales.

Institutional Real Estate – In an era where stubborn inflation keeps central bankers awake at night and rate volatility tests investor discipline, smart capital is quietly gravitating to assets that can flex, literally overnight. Hotels, with their daily lease resets, are one of the few real estate plays with a built-in inflation defense. But not all hotels are created equal. For investors looking to put capital to work today, premium-branded select-service and compact full-service hotels stand out as some of the most reliable performers across economic cycles, including inflationary periods.
Short Leases, Big Advantage
Unlike offices or retail, where lease terms can lock in rates for years, hotels are designed to be nimble. Operators adjust room rates daily, matching market demand and passing through cost increases with far less lag than other real estate types. During the inflationary surges of the 1970s and early 1980s, room rates in the United States climbed almost in lockstep with the Consumer Price Index. More recently, ADRs rose rapidly during the inflation spike of 2021–2023, especially in well-positioned premium brands. Yet flexibility alone is not enough. Demand elasticity still matters. Not every guest will pay more just because costs are higher. This is where premium select-service and compact full-service assets show their edge.
Why This Segment Holds Up
Hotels at the upper end of the select-service spectrum, including Marriott’s Courtyard and AC Hotels, Hilton’s Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, and IHG’s Hotel Indigo and Crowne Plaza, strike the balance travelers want: elevated comfort and amenities without full-service prices. They cater to travelers who want quality and consistency without paying for frills they do not use. Business travelers, sports teams and mid-tier corporate groups typically make up the core customer base. This gives owners both repeatability and rate integrity. Compact full-service properties, especially those under strong flags in good urban or suburban nodes, also shine here. They deliver enough amenities, such as an on-site restaurant, meeting space and a bar, to justify a healthy rate premium while keeping operating costs leaner than those of sprawling resorts or luxury assets.

Fortune | There’s no doubt that commercial real estate, and especially the office market, is undergoing a seismic transformation, one that’s not likely to abate any time soon. A boom time of near-zero-interest-rate policy, abundant liquidity, and cap rate compression over the past decade has given way to a perfect storm–a wall of maturing debt, tightened lending conditions, and cratering property values–all amid higher interest rates that show no sign of returning to their pre-2022 lows.
The outlook for the office sector has been particularly negative. It’s a tale of two markets right now: roughly 30% of office buildings account for 90% of the vacancies and may never recover, while the other 70% have the chance to stabilize over time. Either way, the office market finds itself at an inflection point, much like the retail market as mall acquisitions were being financed.
