AEW Capital Management, L.P. (AEW) provides real estate investment management services to investors worldwide. On behalf of many leading institutional and private investors, the firm actively manages portfolios in both the public and private property markets and across the risk/return spectrum. One of the world's leading real estate investment advisors, AEW and its affiliates manage over $32 billion of capital invested in over $47.4 billion of real estate and securities in North America, Europe and Asia (as of March 31, 2011).

AEW has four core values that serve as the guiding principles for our organization. They are communicated firm- wide so that everyone, regardless of what they do or their position within the company, has a gut-level understanding of what the company is all about. The four core values are: 1) Think as One Firm; 2) Embrace Change; 3) Be Proud of Yourself and AEW; and 4) Work Hard and Have Fun.

AEW offers employees a number of perks/amenities that are unusual, especially for a firm of this size. Our on-site facilities include a subsidized cafeteria and a state-of-the-art fitness facility that is free to all employees. We also hold frequent firm-wide social events, including a monthly birthday party and quarterly “Cheers and Beers” to celebrate the firm's accomplishments. We also have periodic contests testing employees' knowledge of the company and its values, where they can win prizes, including tickets to sought-after Red Sox or Celtics games.
