Real Estate Investment Strategy
Since Canyon's inception in 1990, the underlying strategy in all of Canyon's real estate funds has been to seek above-average absolute returns with moderate risk and low volatility. Such returns are generated by employing a value-added, opportunistic investment strategy in an effort to capture market inefficiencies resulting from a combination of factors that affect real estate values and securities collateralized by real estate.
Canyon is uniquely positioned to provide liquidity to a wide variety of entities impacted by dislocation in the capital markets due to several factors: its experience in acquiring, developing, owning and operating real estate; its expertise in underwriting, originating and purchasing senior bridge loans and mezzanine loans; its ability to move expeditiously on complicated transactions; and its discretionary capital base.
Canyon endeavors to identify unrecognized opportunities through a proprietary network of developers, owners and operators of real estate and relationships with brokers, mortgage lenders, REITs, banks, investment funds, trustees, law firms, servicers, title companies and other real estate service providers.
