As global volatility reshapes portfolios, private credit is drawing increased attention – but not all strategies carry the same risks, particularly when comparing US corporate lending to Australia’s real estate-backed market.
As the asset class continues to scale, discipline, transparency and consistency are increasingly central to long-term success. Drawing on insights shared by our CEO & Co-Founder, Alan Greenstein in a recent Ausbiz interview, this article explores how Australia’s real estate private credit market is evolving, and what this shift means for borrowers, investors and funders alike.
Persistent volatility and increased correlation across asset classes have led investors to look beyond conventional tools in search of better defensive strategies to protect income and build long-term resilience. This has accelerated interest in alternative asset classes—particularly real estate private credit.
Unlike traditional bonds, which tend to lose value when rates rise, floating-rate real estate credit adapts with the market, making it a powerful tool in modern defensive strategies to protect income.
As public markets fluctuate, the need for portfolio resilience and alternative income sources has never been greater. This has driven institutional and high-net-worth investors to seek diversification in uncorrelated asset classes, such as real estate private credit.
