Redwood Adds UK Commercial Real Estate Loans to Debt Fund

Redwood Investment Management has expanded the geographic scope of its private real estate debt fund, CREMX, by adding exposure to loans secured by commercial real estate in the United Kingdom. These new investments complement the fund's existing U.S. real estate debt holdings.

The addition reinforces CREMX's strategy of focusing on shorter-duration, first-lien commercial real estate lending, aiming to generate current income and preserve capital. As of September 24, 2026, the fund held 11 U.K. loan investments, valued at approximately $49 million, representing 10.4% of the portfolio.

Richard M. Duff, Portfolio Manager and Managing Partner at Redwood Investment Management, stated that the expansion does not alter the fund's investment criteria. "We always start with the real estate securing the loan, the borrower's equity commitment, and the path to repayment," Duff said. "We believe select U.K. lending opportunities can complement the portfolio when those fundamentals—and the lender's rights—meet our investment standards."

The fund's U.K. loan exposure includes various commercial real estate categories. Redwood Investment Management noted that the legal framework in England and Wales supports property transparency and lender rights, although it does not guarantee repayment.

Redwood Investment Management offers investment solutions to individual investors through institutional-grade processes, emphasizing risk management and aiming to democratize access to private real estate debt.
