To a lesser extent, the Company also may invest in (1) other real asset lending strategies, including infrastructure loans and (2) other real estate-related debt and equity securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations. The Company is externally managed by Starwood Credit Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Starwood Capital Group Holdings L.P.

The Company generally targets loans with strong sponsorship, institutional-quality collateral and conservative loan-to-value ratios. The Company’s investment strategy emphasizes capital preservation, current income generation and portfolio diversification by asset type, borrower and geography.
