Since CGI’s inception in 2006, our solid track record has earned the trust of some of the world’s most sophisticated investors, including several of the largest institutional, family offices, entertainment and sports professionals, high net worth individuals and ultra-high net worth individuals. Our strong track record is due to our strong hands-on value creation approach, geared towards generating stable and growing returns for our investors, while protecting them against downside risk.
We use our vast capital markets and investment management experience, as well as partnerships with world-class operators, to enhance its performance returns in key markets with inherent operational inefficiencies and assets with underperforming revenues.

Our guiding principles are interwoven in everything we do. CGI’s objectives of delivering superior returns for our investors and ourselves is paired with being transparent, building trust and paying it forward.
Investment Approach
Investment Management
Our investment management approach towards our portfolios follows a disciplined and systematic philosophy that identifies unforeseen value while creating a monetization strategy. Our track record has shown that this approach produces superior risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
Hands-on Management
Our vertically integrated hands-on asset management approach towards our hospitality and commercial real estate properties allows us to create cost synergies and operational efficiencies, which lead to value creation while managing risk and delivering benchmark-surpassing returns to our investors.
Geographical Footprint
CGI seeks to invest primarily in gateway urban markets and secondary markets across the United States, the Caribbean, and Canada, that are well-known to us and positioned for strong economic growth. We intend to capitalize on the opportunities that these markets offer to implement investment strategies – Core/Core+, Value-Add and Opportunistic – and reposition under-managed assets to maximize operating cash flows and insulate long-term capital appreciation.
