Pan-European Real Estate Credit: An Immediate, Compelling and Expanding Investment Opportunity

A whole loan real estate credit strategy provides investors with a compelling and sustainable long-term investment thesis. Supported by an existing €2.0 trillion market, real estate credit looks particularly attractive at this stage of the market cycle.

The fundamentals which make the strategy appealing are:

  • An expanding opportunity set due to mainstream bank funding supply constraints
  • A wave of impending borrower refinancing requirements (forecast to total over €200 billion5 over the next 2 years) which provide for longevity and liquidity of investment thesis
  • Superior risk adjusted returns in the current heightened interest rate environment
  • Downside protection in the current climate of volatile valuations
  • Portfolio diversification benefits
