Schroders Capital’s Private Debt & Credit Alternatives (PDCA) team today announces the successful close of a mezzanine loan on a modern residential complex in Greater Copenhagen. The loan will be held in one of PDCA’s flexible, global, evergreen income funds.
PDCA is a global division of the private markets business, Schroders Capital, which manages $99.3 billion in assets[1]. PDCA focuses on debt and credit, including securities, risk transfer and lending.
Colliers’ debt and structured finance team brokered the deal. The newly-built and fully-let residential property securing the loan has been certified gold by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen)[2].
This loan highlights the firm's ambition to expand its European commercial real estate debt lending footprint, spearheaded by Daniel Younis, Head of European Real Estate Debt Investments with particular emphasis on the Nordics, Germany, and the Netherlands, where Schroders Capital maintains a robust presence in real estate.
Daniel Younis, Head of European Real Estate Debt Investments, PDCA, Schroders Capital, said:
"We have a platform with strong local market expertise, allowing the opportunity to source, underwrite, and select optimal investment opportunities, to find inefficiencies, and bringing opportunity to address our clients' diverse global needs considering the range of risk appetite, liquidity, sustainability, impact, and governance.
“This milestone exemplifies Schroders Capital's commitment to bringing income opportunities to our clients, from Europe where we seek to enhance our lending presence and provide capital in less efficient markets. "
Schroders Capital’s PDCA was formed in 2023 through a combination of our businesses across real estate debt, infrastructure debt, liquid alternative credit, and specialty finance. The division, co-led by Michelle Russell-Dowe and Stephan Ruoff, oversees US$30bn[3] in assets under management with more than 100 investment professionals.
