Taiko

Greg Bennett serves as Chief Investment Officer, with investment committee oversight of every transaction. The firm maintains a centralized credit approval process, and the senior team has backgrounds in structured credit and institutional real estate lending. No external investment committee members or delegated authority structures are publicly disclosed.

Taiko relies on a network of property developers, intermediaries, and boutique advisory firms rather than public auction processes. The firm targets mid-market transactions where complexity or speed requirements create origination opportunities outside mainstream bank lending channels. This relationship-driven model is common among specialist credit managers operating in UK and European real estate debt.

Taiko explicitly focuses on real estate debt, special situations, and infrastructure lending. The mandate does not include equity real estate investments, keeping the strategy confined to secured, asset-backed credit positions. This structure reduces exposure to property market directionality compared to equity-focused real estate managers.

Taiko does not pursue equity-linked real estate investments, unsecured corporate lending, or venture-stage technology exposure. The credit strategy is deliberately narrow, concentrated on property-backed lending where collateral quality and documentation control are central to underwriting. Non-real-asset strategies fall outside the firm's published mandate scope.
