RAITH’S EQUITY PLATFORM.
Raith currently provides investment management services to several Funds, including co-investment
vehicles, each of which invests in real estate equity and real estate-related debt using a deep value
approach to commercial real estate investing, targeting opportunistic and special situations investments
(each an “Equity Fund”). Raith currently does not have any Managed Account clients that invest in
real estate equity.
Raith’s Equity Funds invests across a range of sectors, targeting opportunistic returns by investing in
assets experiencing dislocation or distress at the property level or within the sponsorship. Raith invests
in sub and non-performing loans, value-add equity as well as selective development opportunities.
Raith also seeks to aggregate individual assets and portfolios to benefit from platform-level scale.
Currently, the majority of the investments of Raith’s Equity Funds take place through joint ventures
with operating partners who are not affiliated with Raith.
RAITH’S DEBT PLATFORM.
Raith provides investment management services to a co-mingled open-ended Fund and a parallel Fund
(collectively, the “Credit Fund”) and Managed Accounts, which invest in a range of debt instruments
secured directly or indirectly by commercial real estate, including investment grade and non-investment
grade CMBS and other securities, mortgage loans, and mezzanine loans. The investment mandates,
restrictions, and level of discretion for each Managed Account are decided in consultation with the
investor or investors, as applicable.
Each Managed Account investor is an institutional investor.
Through the Credit Fund and the Managed Accounts on the credit platform, Raith acquires or originates
debt securities (primarily commercial mortgage-backed securities and commercial real estate
collateralized loan obligations), private senior and subordinate loans, and preferred equity investments.
Applying the same underwriting approach and rigor as in equity investments, Raith determines the
value of underlying assets while focusing on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns while seeking
to mitigate the risk of loss.
AFFILIATES.
Certain other affiliates of Raith (each, a “General Partner Affiliate”) serve as general partner,
managing member and/or investment manager of the Funds.
Each General Partner Affiliate operates as a single investment management business with Raith and
conducts its activities in accordance with the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder.
C. CLIENT INVESTMENT GUIDELINES AND PARAMETERS
Raith’s investment management business is focused on investing in a range of real estate equity and
debt-related instruments, including distressed loans and value-add investment opportunities, which may
include intensive asset management, workout and turnaround situations, as well as performing
mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate
collateralized loan obligations, and other real estate debt and debt-like instruments. Our goal is to
provide superior, risk-adjusted returns for our Clients by virtue of our ability to source, underwrite,
price, manage, and monetize investments. Our geographic focus consists primarily commercial real
estate markets located throughout the United States.
FUNDS.
Raith serves as investment manager or investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an investment
management agreement (each, an “IMA”) between each Fund (or the General Partner Affiliate that
serves as general partner, managing member or in similar capacity to the Fund) and Raith. Raith
operates in accordance with the terms set forth in the limited partnership agreement (and other
applicable governing agreements) and private placement memorandum (together with the IMA
and, as applicable, any side letter agreements negotiated with investors in an applicable Fund, the
“Fund Documents”) of such Fund, which includes specific information concerning the operation and
management of each Fund. Raith has the authority to recommend all investment decisions for each
Fund, subject to investment criteria and/or restrictions set forth in the Fund Documents, respectively.
Raith identifies investment opportunities for each Fund and participates in the acquisition,
management, monitoring, and disposition of each Fund’s investments.
Fund investments are managed in accordance with the investment objectives, strategies, guidelines,
as well as the terms and conditions of investment set out in the Fund Documents.
The investment periods of certain Funds have expired. Such Funds may not make new investments
or may be limited solely to making follow-on investments that are related to existing investments.
Raith’s attention with respect to those Funds is generally on maximizing the value of the remaining
investments as opposed to sourcing new investments.

In addition to the Funds, Raith provides investment management, advisory and certain administrative
services, as well as other related services to Managed Accounts (the Fund Documents and Managed
Account IMAs are collectively referred to in this Brochure as the “Governing Documents”).
