As remote work continues, commercial real estate is coming to terms with sky-high valuations falling short of expectations. Hedge funds are wasting no time as they compete to buy up distressed properties. And with banks scaling back lending, private equity firms are pivoting quickly towards private credit. Enduring high interest rates, overbuilt markets, and general economic uncertainty have characterized much of the recent past and seem to have no predictable end in sight. What are financial leaders doing to minimize risk and maximize the upside? How can today’s volatility become an opportunity to diversify portfolios and break new ground? From here, is there nowhere to go but up?
