Approach
At the current point in the credit and real estate cycles, we seek to provide our clients with a conservative direct lending risk profile with a meaningful margin of safety. Our focus in the current market environment is on floating rate, medium term loans for our pension fund clients and long-dated fixed rate loans for insurance companies.
We invest in senior, secured commercial and residential real estate loans in the US and target a yield pick up to traditional, investment grade credit markets and modest LTV ratios. The strategy is designed to be more defensive than others on offer in the market. We typically provide senior loans or whole loans to experienced real estate sponsors who seek to improve the value of the property via refurbishment capex or leasing activity. Our investment team has direct deal origination capabilities across the markets where we operate.
We have invested a total volume of over USD 4.3 billion in real estate debt across residential, office, industrial and retail sectors, with a focus on financing core plus and value-add projects in the US.
The US strategy is managed from GPM’s New York, NY and Charlotte, NC offices. We have significant on-the-ground expertise and deep industry networks.
