Capital Availability and Opportunity in Challenging Markets
Despite rising interest rates, ample capital remains for real estate investments, offering potential opportunities for repositioning distressed assets. Market participants are navigating challenges with a blend of caution and optimism towards price discovery and transaction growth.

Concerns about regional bank failures and loan risks are mounting, signaling a potential shift in the banking sector. Investors are preparing for consolidation, asset deleveraging, and distressed asset acquisitions with a focus on timing and market dynamics.
Synthetic Risk Transfer in Banking Sector
Regulatory shifts have redirected lending activities towards private funds, potentially increasing leverage levels. While synthetic risk transfer mechanisms aim to enhance bank balance sheets, they may inadvertently contribute to hidden financial risks, calling for a comprehensive risk assessment.
