  • Building iconStability: CRE debt occupied a more secure part of the capital stack than equity, offering a measure of downside risk mitigation
  • Stack of money iconIncome: Well-structure CRE debt offers the potential for steady and relatively high income-focused returns  
  • Bar graph iconRelative value: Attractive risk-adjusted return potential relative to fixed income investments and direct real estate, particularly late cycle  
  • Pie chart iconDiversification: Modest correlations to fixed income and direct real estate allocations provide diversification in a multi-asset class portfolio.
  • Shop iconMarket opportunity: Structural changes in the CRE lending market have created a long-term opportunity for alternative lenders to originate CRE debt investments with attractive risk-adjusted target returns.
