Down slightly but imo the outlook here with rate cuts ahead is very positive.
Interesting…. Unintended consequences! Thankfully minimal exposure for us…
“ A loan that is collateralized by a landmark US educational building was adversely impacted by government cuts which reduced the likelihood of finding new tenants. In March 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under the leadership of Elon Musk within the Trump administration, announced plans to reduce the U.S. Department of Education's workforce by approximately 50%, affecting around 2,200 employees. This development has had a material adverse impact on leasing negotiations with prospective tenants, as discussions with the borrower were paused, resulting in a delay to the anticipated lease-up timeline. The carrying value of the loan currently equals 0.4% of NAV and the markdown on this loan during March 2025 represents an overall decline of 1.3 pence per share.”
I have enough and will continue to hold here.
