Courtland Portfolio Model
Courtland sent out questionnaires to each manager requesting portfolio dataforecasted over the 2017 – 2020 periods based on in place business plans. Expected capital calls
E t d it l di t ib ti Expected capital distributions Property type diversification Geographic diversification
C tl d il d thi d t i t fi i l d l t d t i tf li Courtland compiled this data into a financial model to determine portfolio exposures(e.g., risk/return strategies, property type, geographic) over the next several years.
The results on the following slides illustrate the projected portfolio with and withoutnew investment allocations over the next several years.
The Model does not make any income accrual or appreciation assumptions forindividual investments.
Current real estate exposure is 12.5%. Assuming no new investments are madethe exposure is projected to be 11% (2017), 10% (2018), 10% (2019), and 9%(2020).

U.S. Investment Themes
Strategies and ThemesStrategies and Themes Build out a more defensive portfolio via the inclusion of income and recession-resistant strategies. Core equity pricing is competitive as pricing for prime location, high quality assets currently exceeds pre-GFC peak levels. Selectively consider core-plus opportunities where the manager is focused on going-in yield and lower property cost versus fully
valued core properties. Consider debt-oriented strategies that are protected by 25%-35% borrower equity in a first loss position.Consider debt oriented strategies that are protected by 25% 35% borrower equity in a first loss position. Seek opportunistic funds that provide liquidity to sectors of the market that are most in need of capital; examples are financial
