View PDF >Read More >Eric Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of Locust Point Capital, participated as a featured panelist at The State Association of County Retirement Systems (SACRS) Annual Fall Conference 2024, held at the Hyatt Regency Monterey in California. On the Affordable Housing Panel, Mr. Smith addressed the critical and growing shortage of affordable senior housing across the United States. He emphasized that any comprehensive discussion on affordable housing must include the needs of the senior population, highlighting the significant gap in housing options for this demographic. Mr. Smith also explored how state and county pension plans can play a pivotal role in addressing this pressing issue by investing in the senior housing sector. By aligning investments with the demand for affordable senior housing, pension plans can support a vital societal need while achieving sustainable, risk-adjusted returns.

View PDF >Read More >Eric Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of Locust Point Capital, recently appeared on Ausbiz TV to share his perspectives on the upcoming U.S. elections and their potential economic implications, as well as key trends in the commercial real estate sector. Eric noted that a Republican sweep could lead to tax cuts, deregulation, and a stronger focus on domestic investment. However, he cautioned that these measures might also exacerbate inflationary pressures. In discussing the commercial real estate market, Eric highlighted a divergence in performance across sectors. While certain areas have faced devaluation, segments such as multifamily and senior housing continue to thrive. He attributed this strength in senior housing to demographic trends, including an aging population driving increased demand and rising occupancy rates across all segments. Eric also addressed a significant shift in commercial lending dynamics. As banks tighten their lending standards and Basel III regulations take effect, there is a growing reliance on non-bank lenders for commercial mortgages. He emphasized that this trend presents opportunities for alternative lenders, particularly in senior housing, which he views as a stable, long-term investment opportunity due to favorable demographic trends and limited new supply.
