Colony has applied its investment strategy throughout a variety of market conditions. Through the identification of supply-demand source imbalances in capital, product types and information availability, Colony achieves attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in real estate and real estate-related debt investments, non-performing loans, distressed assets, real estate-dependent operating companies, and select commercial and residential development opportunities throughout the world.

Strategy

Colony Capital's strategy is guided by an investment philosophy based on three key principles:

• Cautious Contrarianism: during downturns or secular changes, investing in out-of-favor sectors or markets to exploit misalignments

• Exploitation of Inefficiencies: capitalizing on information advantages to identify micro-market imbalances and secure investments on favorable terms

• Value-added Management to Optimal Exits: creating capital appreciation opportunities through repositioning, restructuring, development, and intensive management
