Max Bassadone is a Gibraltarian, but is of Italian and Austrian heritage. Prior to co-founding Tokoro, he obtained his investment experience at Brockton Everlast, Brockton Capital, Nuveen (formerly named TH Real Estate and TIAA) and Colliers International. He is a qualified Chartered Surveyor.

I sat down with Max to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

• How he got into real estate and his early career moves.
• Grit, determination, and focus needed to achieve goals.
• The story behind naming his business Tokoro and its meaning.
• Launching Tokoro in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown.
• Tokoro’s USP, approach to raising capital and generating alpha in real estate.
• Tokoro’s investment thesis: thematic style and fund structures.
• Social impact initiatives: becoming a B Corp and supporting 1% for the Planet.
• Attracting, empowering, and retaining talent through purpose-driven leadership.
• Current trends in capital markets and their impact on real estate allocation.
• Max’s vision for the future of Tokoro.

Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Max would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
