Hineni Capital is a specialist real estate investment firm focused on long income transactions. We partner with life assurers and pension funds to match their liabilities with structured, duration-driven real estate investments at scale.
Long income real estate sits between fixed income and direct property: contracted cash flows of 20–50 years (and longer), underpinned by physical assets, frequently inflation-linked.
For investors with multi-decade liabilities, it offers duration that corporate credit cannot match and downside protection that traditional property cannot provide.
We structure, acquire and finance transactions at scale in mature jurisdictions, in sectors and with covenants where tenant credit, lease economics and residual value combine to produce cash flows that remain resilient across cycles.
Our capital partners are leading life assurers and pension funds. Long income is structurally well matched with their liability profiles and regulatory regimes — and for good reason: savers, retirees and policyholders depend on secure long-term cash flows.
