OUR RESEARCH

A clear reason for every match.

Clear criteria, current evidence and human review help identify relevant equity investors and lenders for a defined funding requirement.

Explore the capital landscape

01 / OUR FOCUS

European real estate. Qualified counterparties.

RAFT focuses on unlisted European institutional real estate. We research European and international organisations with evidence of relevant activity or mandates in these markets.

DEBT

The right financing structure.

Loan product, purpose, security, ticket size, leverage, term, property type and risk profile shape a lender’s fit.

EQUITY

Capital aligned with the business plan.

Direct and joint-venture equity, preferred equity and other structures are assessed against strategy, geography, scale and return requirements.

02 / THE METHOD

From a defined brief to reviewed fit.

  1. 01

    Define the transaction

    Confirm the structured funding facts, capital sought, timing and exclusions. A pasted brief helps provide context; the client confirms the facts used.

  2. 02

    Resolve the organisation and mandate

    Identify the relevant entity, strategy and professional role. A group name or historic deal alone does not establish current appetite.

  3. 03

    Assess the evidence

    We review published criteria, recent activity and information shared by firms to understand their relevance to your requirement.

  4. 04

    Review the fit

    Human review determines which organisations are appropriate for that particular requirement. Research candidates are not automatically approved profiles.

  5. 05

    Keep the process controlled

    Deliver a reviewed capital shortlist into the private workspace. The customer controls outreach and information sharing.

03 / READ THE SIGNALS

Evidence with its context attached.

STATED CRITERIA

What an organisation says.

A published mandate or criteria shared directly with RAFT. Privately supplied criteria remain confidential.

OBSERVED ACTIVITY

What the record shows.

Dated transactions and professional activity support a view of experience. A past transaction does not confirm a live mandate.

RESEARCH JUDGEMENT

Why a firm may fit.

We bring together relevant criteria and recent activity so you can understand why a firm merits a conversation. You decide which relationships to pursue.

04 / PRIVACY & CONTROL

Relevant conversations, with discretion.

FOR CAPITAL PROVIDERS

Your criteria remain confidential.

Investors and lenders can share current criteria for relevant funding opportunities. We review fit before an introduction.
