What makes Covington unique is that we are a small group with a nationwide focus - instead of living and working in one geography, we go where the deals are. Our strength is identifying disconnects or imperfections across various U.S. markets, identifying properties where those disconnects result in mispricing, and executing on plans to create value in those properties.
