Private real estate debt has become a staple of any portfolio, and the developing size of the private debt market makes it impossible to ignore. These assets are part of a broader fixed income strategy, without replacing traditional bonds. Private debt helps capture additional premiums and other correlations that traditional fixed income cannot offer. Making it all the more essential in a diversified portfolio that it is not strongly correlated to traditional assets.
Private real estate debt plays a critical role as a portfolio diversifier given the potential to generate alpha or abovemarket returns. The ability to allocate capital across a range of loans optimises predictability in loan performance and, hence, mitigates single loan risk exposure.
Low correlation with other asset classes: Given the nature of senior lending and debt activity, private debt usually has a lower correlation to equities than traditional fixed income.
A key advantage of real estate debt is that it can deliver a steady, high yielding income to investors. In an ultralow yield investment environment distributions that can average around 8% on an annualized basis are considered look highly attractive.
By issuing senior debt, direct lending funds take priority to other forms of financing such as; mezzanine loans, preferred equity or equity. Debt investing differs from equity in many ways, debt focuses on mitigating risk at every turn in order to maximise the probability of earning a fixed rate of return and receiving targeted interest returns. The real distinction is that debt investment is backed by a hard asset as collateral. When designing a real estate investment strategy, allocating the portfolio to an income-oriented product that is senior to all other positions in a capital stack is an excellent diversification tool.
The transition away from bank financing represents a permanent structural shift, and private real estate debt will gradually become a mainstream investment for many investors.
