Westview’s opportunistic investment strategy targets investments arising out of:
- Asset under-performance and/or mismanagement
- Complex situations that create inefficient pricing on otherwise performing assets,
- Liquidity requirements or capital structure issues of existing owners and developers,
- Over-levered assets and REO that has been taken over by successor owners (lenders),
- Out of favor assets or non-core corporate owned assets
- Broad financial system dysfunction.
