Fiera ANZ Real Estate Debt
Formerly: Fiera Pan-Asia Private Debt
Investment approach
The strategy’s investment objective is to provide current income and capital preservation primarily through offering short-term senior secured real estate financing to real estate developers or property owners for their construction projects or for the redevelopment of their real estate assets across Australia and New Zealand, but to a smaller degree, may also invest in other regions such as South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. The strategy may invest across asset classes such as multi-family, industrial, office, and land.
- The strategy is also available in US dollars with a currency hedged approach.
Key Characteristics

- Extensive Research and Due Diligence: Robust legal jurisdictions in the target economies help to provide strong downside protection to the underlying loans
- Inflation Protection: Real assets help protect against inflation
- Diversification Benefits: Reduce total portfolio risk due to low correlation to traditional asset classes
