Market Challenges
The future of commercial real estate finance
After the GFC, a multitude of new alternative lenders arose to fill the gap left by the banks which were constrained by new legislations. As a result, many specialist debt advisors started helping investors to navigate this new lending universe.
FundRE is the next step in this evolution process.
Fragmented market
There are over 350 lenders in Europe including insurance companies, pension funds, debt funds, pfandbrief banks, commercial banks, Shariah lenders and investment banks.
Evolving lending criteria
Lenders constantly update their lending criteria due to new regulations, portfolio rebalancing and market views.
High transactional cost
Commercial real estate transactions are associated with a high level of costs, are complex and time consuming, reducing the competitiveness and returns of the investments.
Limited transparency
Sponsors and lenders have little visibility on the current level of the commercial real estate financing market given its private nature and high opacity.
Limited coordination
There is often sub-efficient coordination between teams within the same institution, each office being responsible for different clients, geographies and mandates.
Limited bandwidth
Sponsors, debt advisors and lenders work in small teams in a fast-paced and highly competitive market, leading to generally limited bandwidth and a need for high efficiency.
