ABOUT PERSEVERE CAPITAL
Institutional-Quality Private Real Estate Credit
Persevere Capital is a private credit manager with more than 20 years of lending experience and over $650 million in closed real estate debt transactions. Our team has originated, underwritten, and serviced loans through multiple market cycles, including the 2008 financial crisis and the post-2020 interest-rate shock. This long operating history—combined with a disciplined, asset-backed approach—positions us to deliver stable, income-driven returns with meaningful downside protection. We specialize exclusively in collateralized real estate credit, focusing on first and second-position loans secured by residential and select commercial properties in supply-constrained U.S. markets. Our underwriting emphasizes conservative loan-to-value ratios (typically 60–65% LTV) and strong borrower capacity, creating a substantial equity buffer to protect investor capital. Our risk management framework blends real-estate fundamentals with institutional analytics, including stress testing, interest-rate sensitivity, portfolio concentration limits, and covenant-based servicing oversight. As investors alongside our clients, we maintain complete alignment and full transparency across the investment lifecycle.
Investment Strategy
We focus on originating and managing short-duration, well-secured private real estate loans where:
-
The underlying collateral is high-quality and conservatively valued
-
The borrower demonstrates real experience and verifiable financial strength
-
Project economics provide a natural margin of safety
-
The loan structure includes meaningful covenants and lender protections
Short-term maturities (typically 12 months) help minimize interest-rate risk and allow rapid portfolio repositioning as market conditions evolve. The result is a strategy built for consistent income — we do not provide mezzanine, equity positions, or unsecured lending.
Track Record & Market Position
Persevere Capital builds on the seasoned lending platform of Persevere Lending, which has:
-
20+ years of operating history
-
More than $650 million in real estate credit transactions
-
Over $75 million in current loan assets serviced or advised
-
A decade-long yield range of 10–13% across a diversified loan composite
-
Historical LTVs averaging approximately 60%, providing robust downside protection
Our long-standing ecosystem of borrowers, builders, and developers generates a steady flow of high-quality lending opportunities.
Why Private Real Estate Credit
Private credit secured by real estate offers investors:
-
Attractive yield premiums over traditional fixed income
-
Low correlation to public markets
-
Tangible downside protection via secured liens
-
Strong performance across varying interest-rate environments
-
Exposure to a fast-growing asset class as banks continue to retreat from direct lending
(U.S. private credit AUM is projected to exceed $5 trillion by 2029)
Our focus on U.S. single-family and select commercial assets enhances stability, given their favorable supply-demand dynamics and historically lower loss rates relative to unsecured private credit.
