Firm Description
Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Advisor”, “WDIP” or the
“Firm”) formerly as JCR Capital Investment Corporation (“JCR Capital”), was founded in 2008.
WDIP is a wholly owned subsidiary of an affiliate of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (“W&D”), a publicly
held corporation. When we use the term “we”, “us” and “our” in this Brochure, we are referring to
WDIP as the investment advisor (“Advisor”), as well as any entities that are directly or indirectly
under our control (collectively, “Affiliates”), some of which serve as the general partner or managing
member (“General Partner”) of a Client (defined below).
We provide equity and debt capital solutions across property sectors and the risk spectrum. Our equity
real estate platform focuses investments ranging from light value-add and stabilized investments to
opportunistic investments in periods of market dislocation deploying strategies that focus on value
creation and income generation through the acquisition development, improvement, strategic
oversight, ownership, management, and timely exit from commercial real estate investments. Our
commercial real estate debt platform provides customized capital solutions for real estate owners and
developers. Our focus targets commercial real estate sectors, including, but not limited to,
industrial/logistics, multi-family and other housing, and select retail properties. We also arrange,
originate, manage, fund, and invest and co-invest in commercial mortgage loans. See Item 8 below
for a description of our investment strategies and methodology.
Our investment vehicles are typically structured as closed-end or open-end private funds and separate
joint venture accounts that hold real estate and related assets and commercial senior bridge,
permanent and mezzanine loans (each an “Investment” and collectively, “Investments”) directly and
through holding vehicles or other tax efficient structures such as limited partnerships, limited liability
companies, private real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and joint venture companies. We also
advise certain Clients on Investments in investment vehicles owned directly and indirectly by entities
owned by WDIP’s parent company, Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (“W&D”) (such entities, along with
W&D, its subsidiaries and their employees, are referred to as “Related Entities”).
Firm Ownership and Management
WDIP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Walker & Dunlop Investment Management, LLC, a wholly

and is a member of the WDIP Management Committee; Marcus Duley serves as Chief Investment

As part of the Firm’s executive succession plan, the founders of JCR Capital will transition to a sub-

Capital Funds are all in the harvesting phase.
Assets Under Management
As of 12/31/2023, WDIP had approximately $6.3 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) on a
gross basis and $1.57 billion in AUM on a net basis (also referred to as regulatory assets under
management or “RAUM”). Approximately $966 million of RAUM is managed on a discretionary
basis, and $603 million is managed on a non-discretionary basis. We define and represent “Gross
AUM” in marketing materials as the outstanding total capitalization of all equity investments made
and managed through WDIP funds, co-investments and joint ventures, plus senior debt originated
and managed/serviced (both on an advisory and non-advisory basis) through WDIP joint ventures
and separately managed accounts.
Advisory Services
WDIP serves as the investment manager of:
• Real estate-related investment funds exempt from registration under the Investment
Company Act, including pooled investment funds and REITs, together with any related
feeder funds and parallel funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”);
• Separately managed account mandates, including joint venture companies (collectively,
“Separate Accounts”, and individually, a “Separate Account”);
• Co-invest vehicles for facilitating co-investment with a Fund or Separate Account in an
Investment (“Co-Invest Entities”); and
• Special purpose entities for making Investments, including limited partnerships or similar
vehicles that are comprised of one of more investors, but which are not organized as Funds
(“SPV Entities”).
Funds, Co-Invest Entities, Separate Accounts and SPV entities are collectively the “Clients” and each
individually a “Client” of the Firm. Interests in Clients are offered to limited partners, joint venture
partners or other investors (“Investors”) who must meet certain eligibility requirements. Individual
Investors are not considered Clients of the Firm.
In addition, WDIP has and may, in its sole discretion, formed or form one or more parallel vehicles
for investors having any particular set of legal, tax, regulatory or other considerations including
modification of the parallel vehicle’s investment period with respect to the main fund vehicle, and, if
any such additional parallel vehicle is formed, WDIP may or may not retain sole discretion to cause
any such additional parallel vehicle to invest directly or indirectly through REITs. Such parallel
vehicles may also begin investing prior to the related Funds in which case such investments will be
owned solely by such parallel vehicles. WDIP may earn all, or a share fees, such as origination fees,
in lieu of or in addition to Management Fees charged to a parallel fund.
WDIP directs and manages each Client’s Investments by providing the following types of services:
Identifying
and analyzing equity and debt sponsors and Investment opportunities;
• Making commercial real estate equity and debt Investment recommendations and decisions;
• Negotiating the terms of Investments;
• Providing asset management services and monitoring Investments, including monitoring
loan servicing and sub-servicing services provided through Affiliates;
• Achieving dispositions of Investments;
• Providing private commercial finance services including originating real estate loans; and
• Providing other related services in connection with the implementation of the Investment
program of each Client.
Our equity platform Clients typically target “middle market opportunities” generally defined as
properties valued less than $100 million, while our debt platform Clients provide senior bridge,
permanent and mezzanine loans for middle market and higher valued properties. Our advice includes
various facets of investing in the equity or debt of an Investment and recommendations as to the
structure of the real estate and related asset holdings. Investment advice is provided directly to each
Client and not individually to its Investors unless otherwise required in the Governing Documents.
Client Investment objectives are described in the applicable private placement memoranda, limited
partnership agreements, investment advisory agreements, subscription agreements, joint venture
operating agreements, shared services agreements and other governing documents of the relevant
Client (collectively, along with Side Letters as defined below (the “Governing Documents”).
While some Investors in a Fund seek side letters or similar agreements that confer additional benefits
(“Side Letters”), Fund Investors cannot impose restrictions on a Fund investing in certain Investments
unless such restrictions are set forth in the Governing Documents. Some Separate Account Clients
are managed on a non-discretionary or joint discretionary basis where the Investor(s) determines
whether to execute on our Investment recommendation.
WDIP has entered into Side Letters with certain Investors, including those who make substantial
commitments of capital or are early-stage Investors in a Client, or for other reasons in the Firm’s sole
discretion. Side Letters have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, a
Client’s other Governing Documents. Side Letter rights typically include special economic rights such
as reduced management, performance and other fees, Management fee deferrals, modified waterfall
mechanics, notification provisions, priority co-investment rights or targeted co-investment amounts,
regulatory considerations of specific Investors, opt out rights, supplemental reporting and
information, rights to serve on a Fund’s advisory committee, liquidity or transfer rights,
confidentiality protections and disclosure rights, modifications of default remedies, investment
pacing restrictions and “most favored nations” provisions. These Side Letter rights, benefits or
privileges are not typically made available to all Investors in the same Client, nor are they, consistent
with general market practice, always required to be disclosed to all Investors in such Client. Side
letters are typically negotiated prior to the relevant Investor’s commitment to a Client. There can be
no assurance that the Side Letter rights granted to one or more Investors will not in certain cases
disadvantage other Investors.
WDIP is likely to have its own economic and/or other business incentives to provide certain terms to
select Investors, e.g., based on commitment amounts to a Fund or the timing of such commitments;
the ability of an Investor to provide sourcing or other services to the Firm; or the potential to establish,
recognize, strengthen or cultivate relationships that have the potential to provide longer-term benefits
to WDIP, its Affiliates and personnel, or other Clients. Further, Side Letters may also relate to
strategic relationships under which an Investor agrees to make commitments to multiple Clients or
Funds. Except where required by Governing Documents, other Investors will not receive copies of
Side Letters or related provisions, and as a general matter, the other Investors have no recourse against
a Fund, WDIP, the relevant General Partner or any of their Affiliates in the event that certain Investors
have received additional and/or different rights and/or terms as a result of such Side Letters.
Side Letters subject WDIP to potential conflicts of interest, including in circumstances where an
Investor’s right to serve on the relevant Fund’s advisory committee results in the Investor receiving
additional information relative to other Investors. To the extent an Investor is subject to statutory or
other limitations on indemnification, or otherwise negotiates rights relating thereto, other investors
may be subject to increased losses, or be required to bear an increased portion of indemnification
amounts. Other Side Letter rights are likely to confer benefits on the relevant Investor at the expense
of the relevant Fund or of Investors as a whole, including in the event that a Side Letter confers
additional reporting, information rights and/or transfer rights, the costs and expenses of which are
expected to be borne by the relevant Fund.
In addition to side-by-side investment programs defined below, WDIP may offer opportunities to
invest in Investments alongside its Clients (the “Co-investment Opportunities”) to certain investors
or other persons on such terms and conditions at the discretion of WDIP and form a separate
investment vehicle for the purpose of investing in one or more Co-investment Opportunities (the “Co-
investment Vehicle”). WDIP may also from time-to-time form single-investor or pooled investment
vehicles to invest alongside a Fund or Separate Account (“Co-Investment Entities”). WDIP also
offers co-investment opportunities to unaffiliated third parties to close on investments requiring
additional capital. WDIP typically earns management fees and/or carried interest for managing
unaffiliated Co-Investment Entities and such are treated as a Client account.
