 primarily focus on investments in real estate sectors where our senior management team has operating expertise, including in the multifamily, SFR, self-storage and life science sectors predominantly in the top 50 MSAs. In addition, we target lending or investing in properties that are stabilized or have a light-transitional business plan.

Our investment objective is to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns for stockholders over the long term. We seek to employ a flexible and relative-value focused investment strategy and expect to re-allocate capital periodically among our target investment classes. We believe this flexibility will enable us to efficiently manage risk and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns under a variety of market conditions and economic cycles.

We are externally managed by our Manager, a subsidiary of our Sponsor, an SEC-registered investment advisor, which has extensive real estate experience, having completed as of September 30, 2025 approximately $21.7 billion of gross real estate transactions since the beginning of 2012. In addition, our Sponsor, together with its affiliates and NexBank, is one of the most experienced global alternative credit managers managing approximately $14.4 billion of loans and debt or credit related investments as of September 30, 2025 and has managed credit investments for over 25 years. We believe our relationship with our Sponsor benefits us by providing access to resources including research capabilities, an extensive relationship network, other proprietary information, scalability, and a vast wealth of knowledge of information on real estate in our target assets and sectors.

We elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain one or more exclusions or exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act.

The U.S. government announced a comprehensive set of tariffs in the second quarter of 2025. Following the pause of certain of these tariffs, the majority of the previously announced tariffs have been implemented. The U.S. government has indicated that it could impose additional tariffs on particular countries and impose global tariffs on certain goods. Such tariffs could impact our results of operations by increasing the costs of various goods, including construction materials. Management is actively engaged with vendors and business partners to reduce financial risks of tariffs; however, the impact of such tariffs is subject to uncertainties regarding the timing of their implementation, the magnitude of such tariffs and possible exemption for certain goods, among other unknowns.
