The CNL Story

Leonardo da Vinci’s creative power was said to come from his “saper vedere,” a Latin phrase that means: “Knowing How To See.”

A Seed is Planted

CNL Financial Group (CNL) is a leading private investment management firm providing global real estate and alternative investments. Since inception in 1973, CNL and/or its affiliates have formed or acquired companies with more than $25 billion in assets.

Compounding—the ability to earn money, not with physical labor, but with a sound investment strategy and the passage of time—has often been described as the eighth wonder of the modern world. At CNL, we invest using the TIC Principle™Talent, Ideas and Capital--in real estate, building capacity and creating value over time, enabling our stakeholders to flourish.

Because we are good stewards and use TIC: Talent, Ideas and Capital; as a guide, we are always looking around the corner to see what’s “next,” but that’s only half the story. Those who have worked, invested or partnered with CNL can attest that it’s our vision and commitment to our Core Values that makes working or investing with us a thoughtful and rewarding experience. There are lots of ways to do business, but only one CNL Way.

Who we are shapes what we do.
