RAIT Financial Trust is a specialty finance real estate investment trust that focuses on acquiring, investing in and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate loans, securities and related assets. Established in 2005 and headquartered in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, RAIT operates through wholly owned subsidiaries to deploy debt and structured finance capital across property sectors including office, multifamily, retail, industrial and hospitality.
The company’s investment strategy centers on mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage loans and loan participations. RAIT seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through a combination of interest income, asset appreciation and active portfolio management. Over time, the trust has selectively originated and purchased investments in both performing and non-performing loan assets, while opportunistically pursuing deleveraging and capital preservation initiatives in response to market conditions.
RAIT Financial Trust principally serves U.S. real estate markets, leveraging relationships with banks, institutional investors and loan servicers to source transaction flow across major metropolitan regions. The team comprises experienced real estate lenders and portfolio managers with expertise in underwriting, credit analysis and structured finance. The board and management have guided the trust through capital market cycles, regulatory developments and portfolio repositioning efforts to enhance long-term shareholder value.
