Value propositions for banks

Optimising equity capital allocation and reducing the administrative burden

Banks selling nonperforming commercial real estate loans to the distressed opportunities investment mandates managed by Albulus benefit from a number of key advantages:

  • Divestment of nonperforming loans at attractive prices as Albulus gives due consideration to additional collateral and equity distributions paid to investment fund unit holders when determining the purchase price

  • In addition, Albulus underwrites the potential for value creation at property level, for instance by making use of special termination rights and increasing occupancy rates

  • Releasing of regulatory capital tied up in nonperforming loans and, where possible, partial reversal of impairment losses

  • Reduction of administrative and reporting burden for non-strategic borrowers or for loan exposure outside core markets

  • Well-coordinated transaction team and established transaction standards facilitate efficient divestment processes
