Real Estate

GWM invests in private equity value-add strategies over illiquid real estate assets across Europe, across a wide risk spectrum ranging from core transactions to opportunistic investments.

The investment team targets complex investments and inefficiently financed situations looking for the opportunity to unlock value through lease-up, repositioning and redevelopment.

GWM’s strategy benefits from in-house real estate sector specialists (retail, office, residential, hotel), an established sourcing network and consolidated relationships with the leading players.

Distressed Debt

GWM’s distressed debt strategy targets the acquisition of large, single name non-performing and sub-performing real estate secured loans. The investments are assessed from multiple angles leveraging the extensive team expertise in real estate and debt restructuring to devise the best strategies. A direct approach to the borrower and an active management of the loan facilitate the recovery process; capex investments are considered to maximise collateral value before exit.

The ownership of a large specialised loan servicing platform allows tight control on execution of business plans and direct involvement in day-to-day activities.

Commercial Real Estate Debt

The GWM team invests in the European real estate private debt market across the capital structure for the acquisition, development and refinancing of CRE assets.

GWM focuses on selecting optimal investment opportunities from market segments that typically fall outside the interest of mainstream lenders because of the smaller deal size, structuring complexity and the characteristics of collaterals.

The approach is based on a sophisticated origination strategy supported by a rigorous credit underwriting discipline focused on creating a strong downside protection.
