CREMX Expands Into U.K. Commercial Real Estate Loans

Redwood Investment Management, LLC, the Scottsdale, Arizona-based adviser to the Redwood Private Real Estate Debt Fund (Class I: CREMX), has added United Kingdom commercial real estate loan exposure to its portfolio, the firm announced Sept. 30, 2026. The move extends the fund's footprint beyond its existing U.S. real estate debt holdings into England-based lending.

The expansion represents a deliberate geographic diversification strategy for CREMX, a private real estate debt vehicle. By incorporating England-based loans alongside domestic positions, the fund aims to reduce concentration risk tied solely to U.S. commercial property markets, which have faced elevated vacancy rates and financing pressure in recent years.
