SAN FRANCISCO-Charles Schwab Investment Management, the asset management arm of Charles Schwab Corp. this week acquired Global Real Analytics LLC, an investment research and consulting firm that specializes in applied real estate analytics and commercial real estate index products including the long-running National Real Estate Index. Both companies are headquartered in San Francisco.

James Sempere, previously GRA’s chief operating officer, is now CSIM’s head of real estate investment and research. Other GRA senior managers joining CSIM include Daniel O’Connor, Lawrence Souza, Dionisio Meneses, and David Siopack. The financial terms of the deal were not announced and not otherwise immediately available.

GRA’s property-based analytical models and proprietary real estate databases are used to evaluate REITs and other real estate companies in more than 50 countries. GRA’s model-based approach to the evaluation of real estate securities is similar to that of Schwab Equity Ratings for stock selection.
