Our Values
At the Murray Hathaway Group, our approach to real estate private equity is deeply rooted in the Stoic virtues of wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance. We believe that by exemplifying these timeless principles, we can deliver superior results for our investors while making a positive impact in the communities where we invest. Here's how Stoic philosophy shapes the MHG difference.
In real estate, true wisdom means having the knowledge and discernment to make prudent investment decisions. Our team brings deep market insights, strong underwriting acumen, and a keen eye for value creation opportunities. We focus on the essentials of each deal - the core drivers of risk and return. This practical wisdom allows us to move decisively when we identify an opportunity that meets our exacting criteria.
We believe that as real estate investors and developers, we have an obligation to act justly and benefit all stakeholders. This means dealing fairly and transparently with our investors, lenders, tenants, and partners. It also means being a responsible steward of the properties we own and a good neighbor in our communities. We strive to create win-win outcomes and to always do the right thing.
Temperance
Justice
Value creation in real estate often requires boldness and a contrarian mindset. We have the courage to pursue complex repositioning or development projects when our analysis shows compelling potential. We persist through challenges and uncertainty, guided by our conviction in the merits of each investment. At the same time, we have the courage to maintain our discipline, resisting the siren song of deals that don't pencil out or the temptation to follow the herd.
Real estate is an industry with a history of excess and reckless optimism. In contrast, we believe in rational temperance. We focus on durable assets in high-quality locations. We underwrite conservatively and capitalize our projects appropriately so they can weather downturns. We prefer the steady compounding of wealth over the flash of over-leveraged speculation. Our temperate approach allows us to execute on our business plans and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns throughout market cycles.
