The firm already offers bridge financing funds, Delaware Statutory Trusts, Real Estate Investment Trusts, and value-add funds. The release does not disclose a target fund size, minimum investment, or fund term.
The securities are offered only through a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum and are available solely to Accredited Investors as defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. The release notes that the offering involves significant risks, including potential loss of principal, and that the material is for marketing purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell securities.
