About Rialto Capital

Rialto Capital is an investment management firm and registered investment adviser founded in 2007 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. It operates as an integrated investment and asset management platform specialized in real estate-related credit and asset strategies. Its core mandate is to invest in and manage real estate assets through economic cycles, using a vertically integrated model that covers the whole investment lifecycle. A dedicated special-servicing capability and a direct lending platform give the organization active control over its portfolio. Over nearly two decades, Rialto Capital has built a significant presence in financial services, showing long-term stability and a consistent approach to the complexities of global real estate markets. The firm targets real estate properties, loans, and securities across the entire capital structure. This broad appetite supports a strategy driven by distressed and opportunistic real estate-related credit, with emphasis on value-add processes and the prudent use of leverage. Geographically it focuses strongly on the United States and also holds a strategic presence in Europe to support its regulatory and tax requirements. The Rialto Capital strategy depends on a deep understanding of market cyclicality and the ability to carry out comprehensive underwriting, loan workouts, and cycle investing. With vertically integrated expertise, the company seeks to maximize the value of its real estate assets through active management and leasing services. This credit-driven approach is central to how Rialto Capital finds and acts on market dislocations in the commercial real estate sector. The firm is supported by a team of over 300 associates spread across 12 offices in the United States and Europe. This scale lets it serve a global client base, providing investment and asset management services to institutional and private investors. Its longevity shows in its operating history and in the large-scale platform that integrates diverse financial functions, from direct lending to special servicing. Rialto Capital remains a significant participant in investment management, using its human capital and geographic footprint to manage complex real estate portfolios. The platform is defined by a culture of responsible investing and by comprehensive capital management services across multiple jurisdictions. Through its reach and integrated capabilities, the firm stays a prominent name in managing real estate-related investments and securities.
