Bluerock Capital Markets LLC, a distributor of alternative investment products and the dealer manager for Bluerock, reported a new monthly record of equity capital raise of approximately $480 million in May 2022 and more than $2.1 billion year-to-date. The company’s trailing 3-month equity inflows annualize to approximately $5.4 billion.
