Claros Mortgage Trust: Dividend Suspension Will Benefit Company In Long-Term (NYSE:CMTG)

I have been an active investor and participant in the alternative investment industry for over twenty years including stints with large, diversified alternative asset managers. “Cuar na baile”, which means “the stretch for home” in Irish Gaelic,is a phrase that underpins my investment philosophy and approach. I seek to invest prudently while avoiding higher risk but potentially higher yielding investments. The mark of a true investor is how well they perform in down markets — not how well they perform in up markets. Fundamental valuations and good corporate governance drive my investment philosophy. I enjoy investing in stocks that are often ignored on Wall Street, and have had some success focusing on publicly traded partnerships, particularly those of alternative asset managers, which I believe are undervalued by most institutional investors. I currently focus on income generating securities such as REITs, publicly traded alternatives managers, and select high dividend stocks. I also enjoy analzying preferred stocks.
