In this Dakota Research Interview, Chris LeRoy and Alex DeMarco sit down with Rob Brown, Head of Commercial Real Estate Finance at ArrowMark Partners, to explore how the firm is navigating one of the most dynamic CRE credit markets in decades. Built during the volatility of COVID, rising rates, and regional bank pullbacks, ArrowMark’s platform now spans the full capital stack—from senior loans to structured equity. Rob shares how the firm delivers customized credit solutions for middle-market sponsors and why 80–90% of returns are tied to contractual cash flows. He also unpacks ArrowMark’s “bridge to better times” strategy, which offers sponsors breathing room amid market uncertainty. With $2T in maturities looming and distressed recap opportunities rising, this episode offers insight into why real estate credit is so compelling right now—for both yield-seeking allocators and sponsors in need of flexible capital.
