WILLIAM POLK CAREY
Bill Carey (1930 – 2012) was an entrepreneur, a pioneer in global
corporate finance and a philanthropist for more than six decades.
His career was defined by two core principles that he adopted more
than 30 years ago: investing for the long run and doing good while
doing well. The founder and chairman of W. P. Carey Inc. guided the
development of the firm into the
position of market leadership it
has continuously held from its
early years. He started the company in 1973, primarily to structure single-asset private investments. Today, W. P. Carey has
nearly $12 billion in assets under
management. Carey was also the
founder and chairman of the W.
P. Carey Foundation, established
in 1988 to support educational
institutions, with the larger goal of
improving America’s competitiveness in the world.

press time, a possible acquisition by American Realty Capital

as a principal in the structuring and management of real estate
investment programs since founding the firm in 1979. Since then
