Hardman & Co Research on Real Estate Credit Investments (RECI): Why CRE equity worries should not apply to RECI

Hardman & Co Research on Real Estate Credit Investments (RECI):

Why CRE equity worries should not apply to RECI 

RECI’s current discount to NAV (15%) suggests to us that some investors could be concerned that potential issues with commercial real estate (CRE) will dramatically affect the trust’s assets. In our view, the key reasons why they should not lie in RECI’s management of its position as a debt provider and in its asset selection. We note i) CRE equity holders take first losses (with a 60% LTV, RECI has a big cushion), ii) when accounts have got into difficulties, RECI has typically seen more funds injected by the equity backers, iii) CRE equity holders suffer from rising rates, as value transfers from equity holders to debt providers, and iv) RECI has limited office exposure (none in the US) – the sector most exposed to working from home.
