The Resurgence of Private Real Estate Credit: An Emerging Investment Opportunity

Webinar Highlights Growing Interest in Real Estate Alternatives

Pension and Benefits Monitor and Fiera Capital recently held a webinar titled “The Rise of Private Real Estate Credit in Canada’s Evolving Investment Landscape.” The event featured industry leaders like Michael Le Coche from Fiera Real Estate, who shared insights on why private real estate credit is becoming a popular alternative to traditional fixed-income investments.

This asset class stands out by offering higher yields, better diversification, and more stability during times of economic uncertainty. The discussion also covered the impact of Basel IV regulations on lending practices, illustrating how private credit is stepping in to address the gaps left by banks.

Panelists addressed the diverse regional factors affecting Canada’s real estate markets that influence private credit strategies. They also stressed the growing importance of sustainability in real estate credit, demonstrating how environmental goals can align with solid financial performance.

Finsum: As interest rates decrease, the real estate market is likely to open up further, especially given current supply constraints.
