NEWS: BondAdviser upgrades QRI to Recommended
21 December 2022
We’re pleased to announce that the Qualitas Real Estate Income Fund (ASX:QRI) has received an upgraded rating from BondAdviser to ‘Recommended’.
BondAdviser highlighted:
“QRI’s portfolio risk management has been enhanced by: more frequent loan reviews following the onset of COVID-19 in 2020; the move to weekly NAV reporting from June 2020; and the implementation of an in-house developed internal risk grading model / methodology in June 2021. The Qualitas Risk Grading Model has now been applied to all portfolio investments.
We have reviewed this model [Risk Grading Model] and internal credit papers and view them to be in-excess of market standard in terms of depth of diligence.”
“The Australian CRE debt market is a growing space with attractive opportunities, as banks have progressively retreated from this segment as a result of greater regulatory capital requirements. Investing in such a highly specialised area of the private debt market also brings unique risks, so specialist expertise is required to operate successfully in this market. Consequently, manager selection is an important consideration for investors.”
