Impact Investing, Paul Rabinovitch @ a single-family office

In this interview, I spoke with Paul Rabinovitch, a Senior Advisor at a single-family office. For confidentiality reasons, the name of his employer has been withheld. Paul’s experience includes building one of the largest private portfolios of net zero energy operating buildings in the USA as well as leading-edge workforce housing, affordable housing, historic preservation, and community-oriented development projects that focus on inclusivity and equity. We discussed his employer's investment mandate to him to focus on "impact" real estate. They look to deliver strong risk-adjusted financial returns together with lasting environmental and social benefits. We also talked about what impact investing means to him, why it's important, and what markets and product types are most relevant. We also dove into what a family office really is, and how no two family offices are the same. The state of capital markets and to what extent a family office is insulated from normal market volatility was also a spirited topic of discussion.   --- This podcast is sponsored by Kahr Real Estate Services (https://www.kahrrealestate.com/), a leading provider of in-person and online financial training for the commercial real estate industry.
