Alternative investment Management
this is Mera Investment Management
Mera Investment Management is a boutique, specialist, forward-thinking alternative investment manager.
We target the lower to middle market and use our specialised industry knowledge and origination capabilities to achieve strong risk adjusted returns across our sectors of expertise.
From Mera IM’s family office roots, and the team’s broad experience at corporate banks, specialist funds and private lenders, we have developed a differentiated approach and one that is driven by a desire to work in true partnership with our borrowers and investors.
We currently have two active investment strategies; Real Estate Debt and Real Estate Equity.
The strategies focus on opportunities where we can deploy £2,000,000 to £30,000,000 of funding into high quality prime residential, commercial and high yielding alternative real estate assets.
What sets up apart
Privately Owned
We remain privately owned and backed by a UK family office which began trading in 1933. This level of shareholder experience allows the company to operate with speed and flexibility.
Straight Forward Approach
We use our team’s wealth of experience and expertise to simplify complex structures and situations.
Relationship Focused
We are committed to acting with integrity and building long-term relationships.
Commercial Mindset
Our team have a deep understanding of direct lending and the real estate market which allows us to underwrite each opportunity with a commercial mindset.
Quality not Quantity
We are highly selective and only underwrite a small number of best-in-class funding opportunities at any one time. This allows the team to develop a deep understanding of each transaction and develop close working relationships with the parties involved.
Individually Tailored
We can tailor our direct lending and investments facilities to suit the requirements of each funding request.
Investment Strategies
Our core business is asset backed lending - it’s what the team know, and it’s what they do best.
We are driven by the needs of each requirement, and perform detailed and diligent underwriting on every opportunity.
We have two active deployment strategies which allows the company to provide funding across the capital stack; financing quality assets and transacting with seasoned counterparties.

Mera IM issues Senior and Mezzanine loans secured against a range of real estate asset classes. Our team take a flexible approach, assess each requirement with detailed credit analysis and strive for quality over quantity.

We undertake thorough due diligence, search for downside protection and have a commitment to capital protection on every occasion.
All loans are actively managed in-house from origination right through to redemption.
Real Estate Equity
Mera IM’s equity strategy is focussed on the deployment of our private capital as Preferred Equity into a small number of developments and investments in the UK. We consider a wide range of proposals, including single or portfolio acquisitions, residential developments, refurbishments and asset stabilisations.
Our investment philosophy is to invest funds alongside partners who are well capitalised, known to the team, have an exemplary track record and are specialists in their chosen sector.
We can deploy between £500,000 to £5,000,000 per opportunity, with a particular emphasis on well-established or growth locations in England. We maintain a flexible approach to structuring and consider most asset types.
