As with BREIT, the @blackstone vehicle, Starwood’s SREIT holders only have one liquidity option beyond the sponsor: the @LODASMarkets marketplace.
Our look at how Starwood has paid out redemptions for its non-traded REIT by tapping almost all of its $1.5bn credit line, exhausting much of a big liquidity source and taking on added interest expense. @fd and myself.

Thanks to @CoinDesk's @sndr_krisztian and @inkbacker for taking time to talk about Ironlight's plans to launch a tokenization, listing, and trading ecosystem, backed by DLT. Lots more news to come from Rob McGrath, Matt Celebuski & Co.
Ironlight, a new tokenized #RWA marketplace helmed by former global head of trading of Schroders and Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, emerges from stealth with eyes on U.S. regulatory approval.

It's important for the people to speak and for #NY03 Republicans to choose the candidate they'd like to run for Congress in November. And @JimToes26 is the man for the job.
There are situations when it is understandable, even responsible for political party leadership to avoid a primary election. But the conditions which define those situations do not exist in NY’s US Senate & #NY03 Congressional races. Qualified candidates competing on an un-level playing field exist. I hope that any due diligence review on petitions is done in a responsible and respectful way and not degrade into an exercise of “gotcha’s” nypost.com/2024/04/08/us-new…
Jim is working hard to get on the ballot for the June 25th GOP primary. If you're a registered NY-03 Republican who believes in compromise and common sense, reach out and we'll come collect your signature. #JimforNY03 #WeThePeople
The deadline to file is 1 week away and there’s no such thing as having too many signatures! If you’re a Republican who resides in #NY03 please sign up! #WeThePeople

Thank you @emilyngo and @politico for taking the time to talk to me yesterday regarding the issues facing District-03. I look forward to competing against Tom Suozzi in November.
Thanks to @emilyngo of @politico for taking time to speak with @JimToes26 about November's NY-03 Congressional race. As a life-time Long Islander with Washington experience, Jim is ready to fight for his fellow District-03 citizens.

Why it matters: functioning as a transfer agent will enable @LODASMarkets to further streamline the process of investing in products like private REITs and other alternative assets
Big news from @LODASMarkets this week as
@SilverStarREIT listed on the LODAS marketplace to give Silver Star shareholders access to liquidity
Silver Star joins nearly 40 other securities available on LODAS, including $BREIT and $SREIT
More big news from LODAS soon. Stay tuned
Amazing to see what @BrianKingCEO and the @LODASMarkets team have done in less than two years, creating an electronic marketplace from scratch to offer hard-to-find liquidity to non-traded #REIT investors. 👏👏👏

Interesting FT article by @NicholasMegaw and @MADarbyshire late last week. Highlights how important it is to think outside-the-box when seeking alpha.

And, since they’ve capped withdrawals at their 2% max for two months running, they will have to cap them at 1% in March given the 5% quarterly threshold.
Blackstone capped withdrawals of its $71 billion BREIT fund for the fourth straight month. It’s expected to do so again in March, putting even more pressure on its growing redemption queue. #REITs #liquidity
The platform is @LODASMarkets, founded by a former key member of the @NYSE and @BatsGlobal teams. @benmattlin at @FAmagazine wrote about it earlier this month.

When redemptions cease in non-traded REITs like $BREIT and $SREIT, most market participants think they're out of luck but that is not the case. Securities like these trade on the proprietary @LODASMarkets
platform, registered with the SEC and regulated by FINRA.
Interesting article today from @miyadavid of @BusinessInsider re: the idea of putting guardrails in place for AI. Worth the quick read.

Congrats to the entire team! Amazing growth in just a few short years!

Big news from the team @LODASMarkets. On top of the name change, the big domino to fall was $SREIT being cleared to trade on the platform, giving investors in that fund the liquidity they seek. Much more to come on this front.

Interesting piece in @FT over the weekend from @JennHughes13, writing about how @StateStreetETFs changed investing with the launch of $SPDR. Worth the read.
