Cohen & Co sponsored and presented at IMN’s Winter Real Estate Private Funds Conference at the Montage Laguna Beach. This three-day event offered investors in private equity real estate funds, fund managers, developers and service providers the opportunity to network and gain market insights. As a leader in real estate and private funds, Cohen & Co was excited to connect with peers and share perspectives on the latest trends impacting the commercial real estate industry.
Asha Shettigar spoke on two panels at the IMN Winter Real Estate Private Funds Conference.
First, Asha participated in “Structuring New Funds for Resilience,” covering what to consider when launching a new fund in 2026, and how structuring choices can be scrutinized as much as asset strategies when investor skepticism is high.
Later, she joined “Tax and Regulatory Priorities for Real Estate Funds.” This discussion covered the complex tax strategy and compliance landscape facing fund managers, and how proactive planning can mean the difference between operational friction and improved fund performance.
