Investment strategy

Realising the full yield potential through disciplined implementation of the investment strategy

Value creation commences with the cherry-picking of maturing loans that are secured by a first-rank mortgage on attractive German commercial properties. Although these loans will not be, or have not been, repaid by the borrower upon maturity, they will most likely be repaid in full due to the value of the underlying real estate collateral. After buying the loans, Albulus CREDIT uses the

tried-and-tested ‘Albulus toolkit’, which generates an attractive return and facilitates repayment of the debt. Unlike opportunistic investors on the secondary market, Albulus requires only smaller discounts on the purchase price of the debt to generate the target yield. This increases the range of banks, run-off banks, and restructuring units willing to sell.
