WASHINGTON, DC –  For the fifth time in six years, National Real Estate Advisors, LLC (National) has been named one of the “Best Places to Work in Money Management” by Pensions & Investments, the global news source of money management. National placed among the top alternatives managers in the 2019 survey, which ranks companies based on the results of employer and employee surveys. The seventh-annual survey and recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry.
