History
AEW Capital Management was established in the United States in the early 1980s and developed into a real estate investment manager serving institutional clients. Its activities have centered on commercial real estate investment and asset management for clients such as pension plans, insurers, foundations, and other institutions. As AEW expanded its U.S. and European activities, the broader platform developed capabilities across multiple property markets and investment strategies. AEW Capital Management is now part of Natixis Investment Managers, although public materials may report the U.S. entity, European operations, and the wider AEW platform separately.
