Alan Forman is the former Director of Real Estate at the Yale
Investments Office, where he spent 31.5 years before retiring last
year. For three decades, Alan was one of the core four at Yale
alongside David Swensen, Dean Takahashi, and Tim Sullivan. In his
next chapter, he hung a shingle named Blue Orchard Capital, where
he works with real estate managers to help them understand best
practices in the industry.
In our conversation, Alan shares rare insight into Yale’s
investment operation and, in particular, highlights the consistent
and essential importance of people and alignment in Yale’s
strategy. We walk through how he applied the process to the real
estate asset class and how he’s looking to help the next generation
of great real estate managers in his post-Yale endeavors.
