and Fund Management. In this role, he is responsible for oversight of
the Asset Management department including leasing and disposition of

Mr. Eiseman brings to ElmTree more than 20 years of experience, an
intimate understanding of real estate markets, longstanding industry

of ElmTree’s headquarters in St. Louis, Mr. Eiseman is also working

Commenting on his hiring Mr. Eiseman added, “I look forward to being a
part of an industry leader, such as ElmTree Funds, where the business
decisions are driven by some of the most experienced real estate
investment managers in the net lease, sale-leaseback, and build-to-suit
sectors. Net lease is considered a safe and secure asset class with its
recurring cash flows, and we see strong growth potential for the ElmTree
platform as institutional investors look to allocate more capital to
real estate.”

Degree in Public Policy from St. Louis University.
