The Pender Real Estate Credit Fund is structured as a closed-end interval fund focused on commercial real estate debt. The strategy targets short-term, senior secured commercial bridge loans and seeks to benefit from current market dynamics, including reduced traditional lending activity and increased borrower demand for flexible, short-term financing solutions. These conditions, the firms noted, create attractive opportunities for well-capitalized private lenders.
The partnership underscores American Beacon Partners’ ongoing commitment to offering differentiated investment solutions while supporting experienced, specialized managers across alternative asset classes.
