Experienced Team. Extensive Resources.
Real estate debt investing is a major part of the AB’s alternative investments business, with platforms in the US and Europe. AB’s efforts in commercial real estate debt investing began in 2012 in the US, expanding into Europe in 2020. Combined, these platforms have raised $14 billion of dedicated capital commitments.*
