In a recent InvestmentNews video interview, Rance Gregory, president and CEO of Northmarq Fund Management, explained why preferred equity is gaining traction among commercial real estate investors. Gregory described the structure as a “sweet spot” between debt and equity, offering stable income with the potential for upside participation. He noted that in today’s higher-rate environment, preferred equity provides an attractive balance of risk and reward, delivering yield without assuming full equity exposure. Gregory added that structural safeguards, such as call protections, further enhance the strategy’s appeal for investors seeking both return and resilience.
