Key Points

  • QSuper has defaulted on a loan to back its co-investment in an NYC tower
  • Rising interest rates and the troubles at WeWork contributed to a fall in value
  • Sources say the likely loss is reflected in its fund valuations

Industry super fund QSuper handed back the keys to a prime New York City midtown office tower after its investment went under water just 2½ years after valuing the asset at $US540 million ($855 million) on its books.
