En nuestra reciente convocatoria de actualización del mercado, escuchamos las opiniones de Larry Adam, director de inversiones de Raymond James, junto con Greg Friedman, director general y director ejecutivo de Peachtree Group, y Daniel Savage, vicepresidente de mercados de capital variable de Peachtree Group. Uno de los momentos más destacados del debate fue una interesante conclusión sobre la inversión, que destaca la importancia de invertir de manera consistente en lugar de intentar cronometrar el mercado en función de los ciclos políticos.
Considera lo siguiente: si hubieras invertido 10 000$ en el mercado de valores a partir de 1970 y solo hubieras seguido invirtiendo durante las presidencias republicanas, tu inversión ya habría crecido hasta alcanzar aproximadamente 133 000$. Por el contrario, si solo hubiera mantenido sus inversiones durante las presidencias demócratas, su cartera se habría disparado hasta situarse en torno a los 700 000 dólares.
Ahora, aquí es donde las cifras se vuelven aún más convincentes. Si hubiera seguido invirtiendo totalmente en el mercado, independientemente del partido que estuviera en el poder, esos 10.000$ iniciales se habrían revalorizado hasta alcanzar una cifra impresionante 1,6 millones de dólares!
La sincronización del mercado en función de la afiliación política ha demostrado ser menos eficaz que mantener una estrategia de inversión coherente. Como señaló Larry Adam, »Es más importante estar en el mercado que tratar de encontrarlo. Creo que es una lección fundamental...»
La volatilidad que conlleva los cambios políticos puede tentar a los inversores a dar marcha atrás o a tomar decisiones apresuradas. Sin embargo, la historia demuestra que quienes se mantienen pacientes e invierten en todas las condiciones del mercado tienden a cosechar las mayores recompensas.

Institutional Real Estate – In an era where stubborn inflation keeps central bankers awake at night and rate volatility tests investor discipline, smart capital is quietly gravitating to assets that can flex, literally overnight. Hotels, with their daily lease resets, are one of the few real estate plays with a built-in inflation defense. But not all hotels are created equal. For investors looking to put capital to work today, premium-branded select-service and compact full-service hotels stand out as some of the most reliable performers across economic cycles, including inflationary periods.
Short Leases, Big Advantage
Unlike offices or retail, where lease terms can lock in rates for years, hotels are designed to be nimble. Operators adjust room rates daily, matching market demand and passing through cost increases with far less lag than other real estate types. During the inflationary surges of the 1970s and early 1980s, room rates in the United States climbed almost in lockstep with the Consumer Price Index. More recently, ADRs rose rapidly during the inflation spike of 2021–2023, especially in well-positioned premium brands. Yet flexibility alone is not enough. Demand elasticity still matters. Not every guest will pay more just because costs are higher. This is where premium select-service and compact full-service assets show their edge.
Why This Segment Holds Up
Hotels at the upper end of the select-service spectrum, including Marriott’s Courtyard and AC Hotels, Hilton’s Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, and IHG’s Hotel Indigo and Crowne Plaza, strike the balance travelers want: elevated comfort and amenities without full-service prices. They cater to travelers who want quality and consistency without paying for frills they do not use. Business travelers, sports teams and mid-tier corporate groups typically make up the core customer base. This gives owners both repeatability and rate integrity. Compact full-service properties, especially those under strong flags in good urban or suburban nodes, also shine here. They deliver enough amenities, such as an on-site restaurant, meeting space and a bar, to justify a healthy rate premium while keeping operating costs leaner than those of sprawling resorts or luxury assets.

In this role, Monge will oversee the firm’s hospitality and real estate assets, driving performance, strategic planning and value creation across the portfolio.
Monge brings more than two decades of leadership experience in hospitality, real estate investment and operations to Peachtree. Most recently, he served as president of Seaview Investors where he led asset management and daily operations for a portfolio of eight Marriott and Hilton-branded upscale hotels in California. Before this, he spent nearly 16 years at Sunstone Hotel Investors, rising to senior vice president, chief administrative officer, secretary and treasurer, where he oversaw corporate functions and played a pivotal role in managing a $3.9 billion asset base.
“Lindsay’s extensive background leading hotel operations and real estate investment platforms makes him an invaluable addition to our leadership team,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “His experience across public REITs, private equity and owner-operator platforms uniquely positions him to enhance value creation for our investors while strengthening our asset management capabilities.”
His career also includes senior leadership roles at Magna Flow as chief operating officer and at Alpha Wave Investors as chief administrative officer and partner where he directed strategic planning, growth initiatives and asset repositioning strategies. Earlier in his career, Monge held management positions at The Westgate Hotel and began his hospitality career in Hilton’s executive management program at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

Fortune | There’s no doubt that commercial real estate, and especially the office market, is undergoing a seismic transformation, one that’s not likely to abate any time soon. A boom time of near-zero-interest-rate policy, abundant liquidity, and cap rate compression over the past decade has given way to a perfect storm–a wall of maturing debt, tightened lending conditions, and cratering property values–all amid higher interest rates that show no sign of returning to their pre-2022 lows.
The outlook for the office sector has been particularly negative. It’s a tale of two markets right now: roughly 30% of office buildings account for 90% of the vacancies and may never recover, while the other 70% have the chance to stabilize over time. Either way, the office market finds itself at an inflection point, much like the retail market as mall acquisitions were being financed.
