CREB's approach starts with one question: how much protection exists if something goes wrong?
- First-lien lending: every loan holds a first-position lien on the property.
- Conservative loan-to-value: loans are sized well below property value, so borrower equity absorbs losses first. [CONFIRM: target LTV range]
- Diversification: exposure is spread by property type, borrower and region.
- Liquidity reserves: U.S. Treasuries and cash support withdrawals and stability.
- Monitoring: the team reviews assets and stress-tests the portfolio on an ongoing basis.

CREB bonds are investments, not bank deposits. They are not FDIC insured, and you could lose money, including principal.
