Raphael Sidelsky sits down with Anar Chudgar, Co-President of Artemis Real Estate Partners, to discuss her journey from investment banking to leading a $12 billion real estate platform. She shares how Artemis differentiates itself through middle-market investing, emerging manager partnerships, and a strong focus on healthcare and senior housing.

Anar also discusses Artemis’ strategic partnership with Barings and MassMutual, how the firm maintains flexibility across asset classes and geographies, and why empathy, patience, and proactive leadership are critical to investing successfully across cycles.
