Schwab Acquires Global Real Analytics

In preparation for introducing a new family of real estate funds, Charles Schwab has acquired Global Real Analytics, a real estate analytical firm that also creates real estate indexes. “With approximately $2 trillion invested worldwide, commercial real estate securities represent an important sector for investors,” said Evelyn Dilsaver, president and CEO of Charles Schwab Investment Management. “Global Real Analytics is a well-established firm with a solid track record. The capabilities they bring will provide Schwab with a unique advantage in delivering powerful real estate research, insights and investment choices to our clients.” Schwab has already filed a registration statement for the first real estate fund it is planning, the Schwab Global Real Estate Fund.
