FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS
Mezzanine Loan Investments for Asset Backed Fixed Income
In The UK Property Market
Provide high-net-worth investors with access to structured, asset backed investment opportunities within the UK property market that typically offer higher risk-adjusted returns than senior lending.
At Starfortis Asset Management, we structure mezzanine loan investments for professional and sophisticated investors who understand private credit structures and value disciplined risk assessment, transparency and robust documentation.
SUBORDINATED LOANS
What Are Mezzanine Loan Investments?
Structured subordinated lending within property finance
They involve providing subordinated lending to property projects, usually ranking behind a senior lender.
These investments are commonly documented through second charge security or contractual subordination arrangements and are designed to offer higher returns than senior lending in exchange for a higher risk profile.
From an investor perspective, mezzanine loan investments are often used to gain exposure to alternative property investments without participating directly in equity ownership.
CAPITAL STACK
Second Charge Lending and Capital Structure
Understanding where mezzanine sits within project risk
Mezzanine loans typically sit behind senior debt within the capital structure of a project. The higher return associated with mezzanine loans reflects this increased risk within the capital stack.
FIXED RETURNS
Mezzanine Loan Investments as Fixed Income Investments
Alternative fixed income exposure within private markets
Many experienced investors view mezzanine loan investments as part of their alternative fixed income investments allocation.
While the risk profile is higher than senior lending, returns are typically structured and agreed in advance, which distinguishes mezzanine lending from equity-style investments where outcomes are uncertain.
Within diversified portfolios, mezzanine loans are often used to complement senior secured investments, offering higher income potential while still retaining exposure to asset backed investment structures.
ASSET BACKED INVESTMENTS
Why Investors Allocate to Mezzanine Loan Investments

ALT INVESTMENTS
How Mezzanine Loan Investments Compare to Other Alternatives
Positioning within the spectrum of property-backed investment strategies
Compared with senior bridging loans, mezzanine loans generally offer higher potential returns but also greater exposure to project performance.
Compared with direct equity investment in property projects, mezzanine typically provides more structured repayment terms and defined interest arrangements.
This positioning makes mezzanine loan investments particularly relevant for investors seeking alternative property investments that sit between conservative debt and higher-risk equity strategies.
