Real Estate Finance Associate Role

Within the Global Banking & Markets (GBM) our Real Estate Financing Group originates, structures, and executes bank loan and bond financings for our clients, being generally commercial real estate investors and financial sponsors, including acquisitions, refinancings, M&A transactions and restructurings. The team operates across multiple asset classes and sub-sectors, including traditional CRE assets (office, retail, industrial, hospitality and multi-family), and more esoteric CRE assets (healthcare facilities, cold storage facilities and datacenters).

The team serves as intermediaries between the debt capital markets (including sales, trading, and buy side investors) and our clients. The group works closely with multiple areas of the firm including Classic Investment Banking, Credit and Capital Markets. Real Estate Finance Associates develop strong fundamental credit, modelling and risk management skills as well as in-depth knowledge in the commercial real estate market.

Candidate will gain valuable transaction experience through underwriting CRE assets, negotiating loan documents, and structuring loans into bonds sold to investors. Candidate will assist senior deal team members in providing financing solutions to clients while working closely with the capital markets and securitization teams to sell the aggregated loans in bond form to investors. By the end of the rotation, Junior Associates should be well versed in the various sectors of real estate and have a comprehensive understanding of how to underwrite CRE cash flows and structure the appropriate level of debt whilst also understanding the various nuances of the various CRE markets across Europe.

Why Consider the Real Estate Financing Team?
  • Strong Asset Level Analysis: Opportunity to gain perspective and knowledge on how asset level transactions take place and learn the intricacies of how CRE investors think about investment opportunities.
  • Diverse Client Base: Clients of REFG vary from large institutional REITs and Private Equity Funds to smaller family-owned platforms. The breadth of transactions and financing sizes allow junior bankers to gain experience quickly through coordinating larger transaction processes and playing a larger role on smaller transactions
  • Principal Nature of the Business: REFG has the ability to hold high quality real estate loans on balance sheet for investment purposes.
  • Close integration with Real Estate Classic Counterparts: REFG works side-by-side with both the Classic team as well as with our ECM/DCM counterparts, allowing for seamless communication and deal execution. This has included transactions where the desk has partnered on NPL financings for Private Equity Sponsors and working on P2P acquisition financings for listed REITs.
