The Rise and Fall of CBRE Realty Finance
CBRE Realty Finance went public in 2006 as a specialty finance company formed as a REIT for tax purposes. It was, essentially, a mortgage REIT with a broad mandate. Your assignment is to analyze the company’s arc from initial capital formation (pre-IPO) to its ultimate delisting and name change. In discussing your broad analysis of what happened to this company, you should focus (though not exclusively) on:
- Sources and uses of capital: Pre-IPO; IPO; during its life.
- What were the investments?
- What worked/didn’t work and why. Bottom line: why did the company fail?
- Why was this REIT unsustainable: Investment choices? Management? Market? Can you recommendany changes that might have resulted in a different outcome?
- You should discuss whether the business model makes sense and why similar companies succeed or fail.
