"The past 18 months has seen the topic of real estate debt jump in prominence across almost all parts of the globe. While the conversation is often dominated by rising interest rates and the difficulties in obtaining finance, many of us are also focusing on evident opportunities for investment in private real estate debt. Opportunities that span across the spectrum of risk. From low risk, cash enhancing senior investments to junior opportunities where downside protections against further capital value decline provide for an attractive risk-adjusted return."
