RCLCO Fund Advisors (RFA), a real estate adviser to institutional investors, has announced William Maher has joined the firm as director of strategy and research.
Maher — who is now based in the firm’s Bethesda, Md., office — joins RFA after 25 years at LaSalle Investment Management as director of strategy and research for the Americas, during which the firm grew from a relative U.S.-only investor to a leading global investment management firm. For much of 2020, he worked with the Urban Land Institute, where he was the lead author of the U.S. component of ULI’s Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2021.
Before joining LaSalle, he was a partner at Ernst & Young, an executive vice president and CFO at Halcyon Ltd., and an economist for the U.S. Department of Energy.
