VANCOUVER, BC , Feb. 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Trez Capital, a leader in North American commercial real estate investments, reports its Q4 2024 results, highlighting resilient performance, strategic leadership advancements and continued growth amid an evolving market landscape. With assets under management (AUM) surpassing $5.7 billion CAD, the Firm has funded over $20.5 billion CAD in commercial real estate (CRE) loans since inception.
Trez Capital closed out Q4 2024 with resilient fund performance, strategic portfolio shifts and expansion into high-growth markets. Amid easing interest rates and improving real estate fundamentals, the Firm leveraged its expertise to drive value across both debt and equity CRE investments.
The Firm's debt funds maintained stable monthly distributions, benefiting from a lower interest rate environment and active loan repayments. New financings in industrial and residential projects across Texas , Alberta and Arizona reinforced portfolio resilience.
Trez Capital expanded its footprint in high-growth United States (U.S.) markets, including Texas , Arizona , Colorado and Washington, D.C. , particularly in residential development, where demand remains robust.
The closing of the Firm's largest U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund – Trez Capital U.S. Opportunity Fund #8 (TOF VIII) – announced in December 2024 marked a significant milestone, with nearly half of the Fund already deployed into high-demand residential lot development projects.
Trez Capital Private Real Estate Fund Trust (TPREF) strengthened its positioning by investing in Furst Ranch ( Dallas-Fort Worth ), a major lot development project. The Fund also divested its self-storage portfolio, reallocating capital to higher-growth residential and mixed-use development opportunities.
Leadership Advancements
Post quarter, the Firm announced advancements to its leadership team, strengthening its position in the marketplace and driving its strategic vision forward. John Maragliano was appointed Co-Chief Executive Officer alongside John D. Hutchinson , while continuing in his role as Chief Financial Officer.
Co-CEOs John Hutchinson and John Maragliano jointly stated, "Our focus has always been on delivering solid, risk-adjusted returns to our investors, and 2024 was a demonstration of that commitment. As we look ahead, we are encouraged by strong growth prospects – particularly in the residential, retail and industrial markets – due to a shortage of supply coupled with attractive deployment opportunities from repeat borrowers. Our collective experience, long-term relationships, and deep understanding of these markets are our strategic advantage and position us for further long-term value creation for our investors. We are confident in our ability to navigate and prosper in the evolving landscape, building on positive momentum in 2025."
Additional updates to the executive leadership team include Christian Skogen assuming the role of Chief Investment Officer and Keiju Yamasaki being appointed Chief Credit Officer. These changes align with Trez Capital's focus on disciplined risk management, innovative investment strategies and operational excellence.
The executive leadership team ("ELT") guiding the Firm's daily operations comprises John Hutchinson, John Maragliano, Christian Skogen, John Creswell, and Alec Barry, with Darren Esser now joining the ELT after serving the Firm since 2020.
2025 Outlook: Opportunities Amid Policy Changes and Evolving Markets
Trez Capital enters 2025 with strong momentum, supported by a stabilizing economic backdrop and emerging opportunities in key markets. In Canada , moderating inflation and interest rate cuts are expected to support housing demand, while in the United States (U.S.), resilient job growth and improving transaction activity signal renewed confidence in CRE.
"Looking to the future, our priority is to identify and capitalize on the highest-value opportunities that align with our strategic objectives and strengths, all while maintaining our unwavering commitment to prudent risk management," said John Maragliano , Co-Chief Executive Officer & Chief Financial Officer.

CGTN: China-U.S. trade talks in London receive positive market reception
With the first meeting of the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism set to continue in London on Tuesday, CGTN publishes an article discussing the significance of the highly anticipated talks and the global expectations surrounding them. The article also highlights China's attitude and stance on the trade talks, stressing the importance of China-U.S. cooperation in achieving mutually beneficial outcomes. BEIJING, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ -- The first meeting of the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism is set to continue on Tuesday in London with a second day of talks. The gathering of key officials from the world's two largest economies is widely seen as a crucial step in easing tensions between the two countries, sending a positive signal to the global economy. The highly anticipated trade talks come just days after a phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump. They are aimed at implementing the consensus reached by both leaders and continuing to foster dialogue and cooperation in economic and trade fields. Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng is leading the Chinese delegation in London, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are heading the U.S. team. Severe economic repercussions The London talks are a direct outcome of the Geneva discussions in May, when both sides agreed to pause the escalating tariffs and establish a consultation mechanism to continue negotiations. The Geneva meeting featured the first face-to-face talks between senior officials from both nations since the U.S. imposed hefty tariffs on China in April, and China retaliated with robust countermeasures. The tariff hikes have not only hurt the global supply chain, but also harmed the U.S. economy, driving up costs, reducing consumption and increasing the risk of economic recession. A Harris Poll conducted for Bloomberg News in late May revealed that many Americans are tightening their belts, a recent survey by Bank of America showed that allocations to U.S. assets are at their lowest levels in nearly two decades, and multiple sources, including U.S. Bank, JP Morgan and the International Monetary Fund, have suggested a 40 percent chance of a U.S. recession. Cooperation is the only way out Given these concerning economic repercussions, Xi has stressed that dialogue and cooperation are the only correct choice for the two countries. He hailed the Geneva talks as an important step forward in resolving disputes and urged the two sides to make good use of the economic and trade consultation mechanism and seek win-win results in the spirit of equality and respect for each other's concerns. The Chinese side is sincere about this, and at the same time has its principles, Xi said. The positive market reactions mirrored Xi's remarks and reflected growing optimism about the easing of China-U.S. trade frictions. Following the leaders' phone talks, shipping demand surged, leading to a spike in freight rates, and U.S. stock indices saw substantial gains, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones all experiencing significant increases. Wu Zewei, a special researcher at Sushang Bank, said the London talks are expected to boost the prospects for bilateral cooperation. He stated that though the negotiations in London will not be easy and require in-depth discussions, the Geneva talks have laid a strong foundation for cooperation and the recent phone call between the two heads of state has provided direction for future negotiations. "The cooperation between China and the U.S. has significant potential. In the future, both countries can still achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, fostering shared prosperity and creating a better life for their peoples," said Wu.

Alvopetro Announces May 2025 Sales Volumes and an Operational Update including 183-D4 Well Results
CALGARY, AB, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV) (OTCQX: ALVOF) announces May 2025 sales volumes and an operational update, including results from our 183-D4 well. Based on cased hole logs and logs while drilling, the well encountered 61 metres total vertical depth ("TVD") potential net natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Formation 106 metres updip of our 183-A3 well. President & CEO, Corey C. Ruttan commented: "May sales included the first full month of production from our first two wells drilled in Western Canada averaging 346 bopd gross (173 bopd net), exceeding our pre-farmin expectations and we are looking forward to drilling our next two wells here starting this summer. We are also encouraged by our 183-D4 results and expect to have this well on production in Q3 to fuel continued production growth in Brazil." May Sales Volumes (1) Alvopetro reported volumes are based on sales volumes which, due to the timing of sales deliveries, may differ from production volumes. May sales volumes in Brazil averaged 2,161 boepd, including natural gas sales of 12.3 MMcfpd and associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 111 bopd, based on field estimates. Sales volumes decreased 9% compared to April due to turnarounds at both Alvopetro facilities and Bahiagás end user plants, which impacted demand in the month. In Canada, with a full month of production in May, Alvopetro's net 50% share of oil sales volumes increased to 173 bopd, bringing the Company's total sales to 2,334 boepd, based on field estimates. Operational Update 183-D4 Well Results We have now completed the sidetrack and drilling of our 183-D4 well on our 100% Murucututu natural gas field. The well was drilled to a total measured depth of 3,072 metres and has been cased and cemented. The well encountered the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation 106 metres structurally updip of our 183-A3 success. Based on cased-hole gamma ray logs and normalized gas while drilling, the well encountered potential natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation, with an aggregate 61 metres of potential natural gas pay between 2,439 and 2,838 meters TVD. Based on these drilling results, we plan to complete the well in up to 5 intervals and expect the well to be on production to the field production facility in the third quarter. Caburé Unit Development Drilling Program Our planned Caburé Unit development drilling program has commenced. The first well has now been spud and we expect to have four wells drilled by the end of the third quarter. Western Canadian Capital Plan In Western Canada, well pad construction for our next two wells has commenced and we expect the wells to be drilled in the third quarter.

Abbreviations: boepd = barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") per day bopd = barrels of oil and/or natural gas liquids (condensate) per day BRL = Brazilian Real Mcf = thousand cubic feet Mcfpd = thousand cubic feet per day MMcf = million cubic feet MMcfpd = million cubic feet per day NGLs = natural gas liquids (condensate) BOE Disclosure The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
