Stephen Laws

touched you Hi, for target and if later I good for outlook aggregating afternoon. you wondering this. Mike, mentioned Frank on maybe you guess can prepared touched both on portfolio year. the loans, you CLO senior but comments, more this growth, quantify

the CLO either senior And loan the portfolio? loan how get How, financing see how just do assets? total of two mix leverage big as of to to a do then target kind So of question. part I expect or guess, portfolio you

Mike Mazzei

we the done. mortgage I are will think the that that loans senior more be portfolio, want do of loans we to repositioning

in can million September. loans of You XX done see XXX commitments that we've since

So at we're pretty rate. run good a

financing totally answer not directly do a in your year, as a and a to maybe to get billion The it's So model. CLO able billion loans it's to is, -- question dollars this do to the doable over We there? originations half. are use question want we

it we to if can CLO. those CLO But we One, loan how things one, it that XX% like a we get depends we're couple depends that we'd want So grow, do increase a We where vehicle. we we now to CLO that roughly Stephen. on a and ROEs done. can repayments think probably in second do ROEs of getting, maximize right big on have

the in prepared reinvestment October an horizon said I As this remarks, is year. there

pay in in that we've that But some had we've already, use pay October. So between the with where replenish loans off if portfolio. have loans the was in placed now that any payoffs loans, to had more them of the some some and we CLO collateral loans new we may CLO we off

timing could that second affect the a So of CLO.

the affect defend to can cash that the a balance CLO thing raised for other sheet. cash. beneath reason We is the The

to said, have to I want future. adequate to have assets of we that deliver not make hand understand move we're de-levering sure we those out As should on on to need potentially funds the assets sheet sure around We yet the the what in and make assets. trying we woods we're that balance may

sheet balance and are terms things speed doing growing the our a to could that those affect two CLO. second the of So in market

Martin I difficult. your from slightly side are [ph]. those to appreciate So

like those do possible, we is, dollars would at and we mixed possible because now. in some like that's took the to and then to the would The LA use monetize repatriate other project down for those assets project on point like just some those if that dead right if we earning money have write add that and the instance, non cash we basically Ireland thing repatriate that reinvest I'd

So answers there number I a that are here. parts of your question. hope moving

Randy Binner

that, The $XXX the million, But lot being a CLO if than as That's a variables. obviously to bigger you X.X, so way helpful. think of really there's it nice one? think the of first

Mike Mazzei

second be the say XX would necessarily reinvested I multifamily. to get are wait mean second CLO, hit pay-off that do we CLO, by to loans We're the out I doing, Andy in long doesn't when way, smaller Andy that of XX think that the want market we CLO said, first the and as loans than first. by say October would the could sooner. that could I And the the

Andy Witt

yes. has in deployment about multifamily. XX% of Correct, been It’s the

Mike Mazzei

originating might spreads originated of what giving and give the this been of it's got like, give different do size, I configuration portfolio, lend better the loans be on we've loan smaller, statistics that CLO Andy no itself a we've we've little you the Andy? a it think And average look Right. retail. you've worth might to few much a And because Andy, that what hotel, no coupons been second should synopsis getting a can and the feel

Great.

since refinanced of originated we Of in the XX% over originating million have nine put about loans we or $XXX been closed. loans, XX multifamily. So have that September, in to work

been has $XX other in approximately The three average size loan office, the million.

the So focused that one size. of the on is things of loan now we're the dispersion

any getting not much one exposure So position. too to

really is between $XX $XX million million. dispersion the So and

terms that's rate cost with a In of the line of and we're seeing rates, our advance of rough kind X% generating all-in approximately and XX% ROE. funds

increase view CLO ROE. our to move loans into those So a is and that potentially

Randy Binner

That’s suburban Like at where or is present? super office? office working what's the it helpful, is somewhere

Mike Mazzei

targeted non-gateway, MSA we be tenancy, area, we it's major office, very suburban deals market it's that a office it's the it well, like and a we very the in Yes, a like might like. where

gives I the seeing Andy think So kind of loan smaller. select. that when we've size the been rundown you you But very is average

And that’s the $XXX avoid give a scoring good risks the could a right the do so and and agencies execution million to you on and concentration good from rate advanced get the deal. deal you

So don't to from franchise issuance We the running. wait some your there's get the to cost. to try ground hit do get billion, would could. earlier think But a scale probably now value. But $X we think want I you we hit we if think better of would I economies window to

Operator

with BTIG. And question. Tim question from Hayes Please proceed our next your with is

Tim Hayes

just taking one, first to for the afternoon, bit. my questions. on good Thanks here Hey, little pipeline a guys. expand My

more ROE expect defensive on you're where you're rotating the pretty the that and more be senior mentioned I'd you're But competition. to average You portfolio is in with assets now. there right more focusing achieving line

just and increased mentioned earlier curious comments you So competition. about some

offset a this year, you yields So on with impact and the back And half just into market, as see if seeing competitive. things? the the more you more in be that should a negative asset of on back if side little the comes what capital by you're bit get liability think things of the curious,

Mike Mazzei

Sure.

in So pieces. that I'll take try and

what evaluating in think we're I generally the XX%, pipeline and sectors. we're of seeing is about really office our multifamily what is in

bringing come reasons, is all being our seeing we're for But seeing we're the concentrated achieve pricing is so pricing what kind in, bit. two able in all-in So the a sectors lenders to activity our ROEs. in those also of their we’re obvious line

the on think be the that is market In the to of that terms that's of concentrated. enter amount activity competitors going I the of half dependent and back where largely year,

back for less within So see two playing asset may and retail field, classes. like sectors those opened you may up, larger provide a which hospitality, concentration

Tim Hayes

yes, helpful. that’s Okay,

Andy Witt

passive some maybe mostly Carolinas, of on Texas, a little looking we'll like acquisition doing we I probably where loans. feel as cases, we're Georgia, they're at looking areas focused have mean, been states the in some also really loan We've Arizona, we growth. areas value, at to we're been it less XX% call loans,

funding, looking really are narrow, hard in us. we're there like probably also, terms where assets more GAAP versus actual future behind more opposed there's value-add commitment of X% equity So the But X%, it's to much more and at that as transitional.

be about may right there we at get competitive, a down into which more will point, where and hotel an may a we there now, we quite like, reopen, great, right how going got But is it the great, do certainty and we loan one, assets the we've can the is in great, Now, got that a market find that great we've retail early, acquisition evaluate the some road, that and more opportunities hanging loan. we'll frankly, some a be start, as we’ll been the And fruit do those been confidence for could But economy to anchored had assets. need the low pricing the haven't right now, markets reopens, it. are that. have we there's more finding as grocery we

Tim Hayes

of of how at to up your Yes, from higher size function to just the that pricing pipeline I that perspective? has that sense. market just you trying a you're should down. mentioned yield of holding or is versus some that color come the for a as mean, makes seeing your the again, market end look loan the And average end been
