Our path is clear: manage our portfolio for the greatest value. Remain a profitable debt business and, finally, create a thriving investment management unit so we’re working with a much greater amount of money from outside GE.

Our property portfolio is globally diversified, and cash flow is positive. Our valuation approach is conservative, and reflects our status as a long-term real estate investor. We’re using our experienced teams and proprietary risk management technology to manage the GE Capital Real Estate portfolio to create value for tenants, partners and investors.

Our focus on customers is something that won’t change of course. Our business is built on customer service and attention to detail. That approach is one of the main ways we’ll stay strong and competitive today, and tomorrow.

With 1,500 professionals in 31 markets globally, we have unparalleled capabilities. Our deep local knowledge – supported by extensive market research – makes us a domain expert. Also, our industry relationships are unrivaled. In 2008, for instance, our customers were twice as likely to recommend us as business partners than the competition.

With that kind of power, GE Capital Real Estate will be a leading global real estate investment company. We’re secure, focused on what needs to be done over the next couple of years, laying the foundation for a strong and consistent future.
