"My confidence to transition leadership at this time is a testament to the strength and vision of the firm, creating space for our leaders to emerge, fostering innovation, and paving the way for Trez Capital to spread its wings and soar higher in the next chapter of growth and success," said Morley Greene, Founder and Executive Chairman, Trez Capital.

Trez Capital's partnership continues to undergo changes that bring new perspectives, skills, and varied expertise. John Hutchinson joined the partnership in the beginning of 2021, and in early 2022, Dean Kirkham and John Maragliano were also welcomed as partners. Earlier this quarter, John M. was appointed Chief Operating Officer in addition to his responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer. The executive leadership team's wealth of experience ensures the firm's enduring success while placing investors at the forefront of all endeavors.

Debt Funds Updates

Trez Capital remains committed to finding the right opportunities in targeted regions across North America for investors, especially in the thriving residential markets that are benefiting from population and job growth. With a strategic focus on residential lending, the firm anticipates continued growth.

Interest rate increases in Canada and the United States have contributed to Trez Capital's floating-rate mortgage portfolio returns. In Q2 2023, the firm announced another distribution rate increase. Effective July 31, 2023, the annual distribution yield for each fund is as follows: Trez Capital Prime Trust at 6.24%, Trez Capital Yield Trust at 7.68%, Trez Capital Yield Trust U.S. (CAD) series at 8.64%, and Trez Capital Yield Trust U.S. (USD) series at 8.64%.

Trez Capital remains committed to providing investors with strong, reliable, and uncorrelated returns and is cautious with lending parameters to mitigate risk.

Equity Investments Program Update

Since 2013, Trez Capital has provided investors with real estate equity investment opportunities and the program's most recent achievement includes nearing stabilization of The Ovilla.

This project is an inaugural property held within the Trez Capital Private Real Estate Fund Trust (TPREF). The Ovilla has surpassed the original underwritten rental rate projections by 34%. When first entering the project, Trez Capital identified an attractive opportunity for investors in Red Oak, Texas, south Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, due to limited in-area competition and an imbalance in supply-demand for housing.

The property's high occupancy rates, strong leasing performance and excellent amenities make it an attractive, high-quality, long-term asset for Trez Capital investors.
