4.20pm Credit Panel
Whilst the sharp rise in interest rates since 2022 has been negative for real estate equity strategies, it is favourable for real estate debt strategies. Higher base rates and wider credit spreads combined with more caution among commercial banks, have contributed to an attractive environment for private credit strategies. Today private real estate credit is playing an increasingly important role in institutional portfolios, due to its income profile and loss protection characteristics. However, will credit funds continue to enjoy their popularity in the near future? And what are the preferred debt strategies and which markets in APAC are currently offering better opportunities?
