At a recent conference in New York, Nadine Buckland shared three key insights on European real estate credit with US allocators. First, Europe faces a persistent capital gap—particularly for middle market operators and niche sectors like data centres and senior living—creating a compelling growth opportunity for private credit investors and managers with local expertise.
Second, unlike the US, Europe is not a unified capital market; each country has distinct regulatory, legal, and cultural nuances, requiring lenders with an on-the-ground presence and jurisdictional know-how.
Third, effective lending in this space demands more than just capital—it requires strong, trust-based relationships with borrowers and a deep understanding of local dynamics. Our team is built to navigate precisely these complexities.
