How is credit risk impacting the companies within this sector? Is there gold to be found, or are there only landmines? We answer both by using two examples.
Tariffs On, Tariffs Off
US equity markets rallied this week, capping off the best monthly gains since November 2023, as investors weighed encouraging inflation data against a whipsaw of court rulings on tariffs. Extending the on-again-off-again tariff saga, a trade court ruled that the tariffs were procedurally invalid, but an Appeals court paused the block, likely sending the decision to the Supreme Court. Rebounding from declines of 2.6% last week, the S&P 500 rallied 1.8% this week, closing within 4% of its February record highs.

Overview
Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation is a specialized finance entity that has carved a niche for itself in the realm of commercial real estate loans and investments across the United States. Founded in 2011 and headquarted in New York, New York, the company operates with a focus on providing a broad spectrum of financing solutions tailored to meet the needs of owners, operators, and sponsors of commercial real estate (CRE) properties. By electing and qualifying to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, it utilizes a strategic tax position to benefit its investment operations and stakeholders.
Products and Services
- Senior Mortgage Loans: A primary product offering, these are first lien loans that provide borrowers with the capital needed for acquiring, refinancing, or repositioning CRE assets. This financing solution ranks highest in terms of repayment priority in the event of a borrower's default.
- Subordinate Debt and Preferred Equity Products: Crafted to fill the gap between senior debt and equity, these financial instruments offer a higher yield in exchange for taking on more risk compared to senior loans. They provide crucial leverage opportunities for property owners seeking to maximize their investment capital.
- Mezzanine Loans: Acting as a bridge between senior debt and equity, mezzanine financing offers a hybrid of debt and equity financing, secured by a pledge of the underlying equity rather than the real estate asset itself. This facilitates higher leverage for the borrower, albeit at a higher risk to the lender.
- Other CRE Investments: Besides the primary loan products, Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation diversifies its portfolio through investments in other CRE-related assets, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). These securities provide a way for the company to invest in a pool of loans, therefore spreading the risk across different assets.
