Our Investments Strategy
The Firm primarily invests in real estate assets using flexible financing instruments and structures, including preference shares, equity (joint-ventures, land, ordinary shares etc.), asset swaps, profit sharing debt, secured debt, asset-backed debt, mezzanine debt, and other forms of flexible financing structures. These forms of financing are typically more aligned with unlocking and maximizing the value in real estate assets. SRF invests at the value creation stage of real estate and leverages its strong partnership with the foremost experts in architecture, engineering, surveying, and project management, to foster a culture of innovation. This holistic approach is anchored by our risk management strategy, which ensures that we deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns with downside protection for our shareholders.
