TREF I - Investment Opportunity
• Banks have reduced lending due to regulation and balance sheet repair
• The size of the market TREF focuses on is too small for major banks
• Unique borrowing needs and fast closings reduce the number of lenders
• Loan sourcing is local and investors need managers tied to the local market
4 TREF I
Small commercial loans offer a unique and timely
investment opportunity
Experts Agree The following is an excerpt from an interview in Barron's on 5/19/14 with George Roberts co-founder and co-CEO of
the multibillion dollar global investment firm KKR.
Yet if he were starting an investment firm today, Roberts says, he would focus on smaller real-estate deals, not private equity. The big banks don't bother with small deals, and smaller developers are shut out of the market.
"In certain areas there are shortages of capital," he says. "That's why direct lending has become attractive”
TREF I - Investment Opportunity
• When you deposit money in a bank, the bank lends that money out at a higher rate and keeps the difference
• In TREF, your investment is lent at the higher rate and the majority of the interest is paid back to you
• We allow a 1 year rolling redemption period from initial investment, if you choose to withdraw some of your funds
• Current average rate charged by TREF is 10.867% (2.28/17)
