Jefferies LoanCore will originate commercial real estate debt through a team of professionals led by Finerman, with the support of the real estate, investment banking and securitization capabilities of Jefferies, and the real estate and mortgage investment expertise of GIC Real Estate, the real estate investment arm of GIC.
Jefferies Group chairman and CEO Richard Handler said Jefferies is very excited to partner with GIC Real Estate to launch Jefferies LoanCore, which further expands Jefferies’ investment banking and trading franchise by offering commercial real estate investors further access to capital.
"Mark Finerman has an outstanding track record as a leader in the commercial real estate finance sector, and we are pleased to be working with Mark and his talented team," Handler said.
GIC Real Estate president Seek Ngee Huat said they welcome the opportunity to establish a long-term partnership with Jefferies Group in commercial real estate finance.
"We have worked successfully with Mark Finerman for several years and look forward to expanding our relationship with this further commitment," Huat said.
