Liquid Debt strategy differentiators

  • Diversified, efficient exposure to U.S. commercial real estate debt and preferred securities issued by Real Estate Investment Trusts.

  • Public real estate debt markets are actively traded, allowing for active management.

  • 20+ years of managing CMBS portfolios has helped forge wide-ranging relationships among market participants, allowing access to valuable market information and investment opportunities.

  • Team roots coincide with the beginnings of the modern CMBS market. We have modeled every fixed-rate conduit CMBS deal since 1999.

The opportunity for investors

  • CMBS offers potential for yield enhancement and diversification in an alternative credit exposure compared to corporate bonds.

  • May provide potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns available over a variety of market environments.

  • Complement to private debt strategies offerings: public market liquidity, efficient and timely capital deployment, and diversification.

  • Offers ability to scale risk up or down by introducing a debt component to a public real estate strategy.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Real estate investment options, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), are subject to risks associated with credit, liquidity, interest rate fluctuation, adverse general and local economic conditions, and decreases in real estate values and occupancy rates.

Fixed-income investment options that invest in mortgage securities, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities, are subject to increased risk due to real estate exposure and carry greater risk compared to other securities in times of market stress.
