Real Estate Credit: Taking the Plunge The year 2025 will see an avalanche of real estate loan maturations in the US and around the world. Breakneck rate increases have made it harder for borrowers to refinance, causing distress in sectors vulnerable to structural changes like commercial real estate. Panelists will discuss opportunities and risks in real estate debt strategies and how LPs should think about this asset class relative to their portfolio objectives.
