Frequently Asked Questions

This fund is designed for:

  • Investors seeking consistent passive income rather than speculative market gains.
  • Those who want priority-positioned investments in commercial real estate.

The fund provides private credit investments through preferred equity, mezzanine debt, and bridge loans, offering secured, income-producing opportunities.

The fund primarily focuses on multifamily properties but also invests in other commercial real estate asset types where strong risk-adjusted returns can be achieved.

The fund targets a 6% preferred return, which is accrued and paid out before profit-sharing. The target annualized return is 10–12%, with a 12–14% target compounded return. Returns are structured through a combination of monthly preferred returns and quarterly profit-sharing, designed to provide both steady cash flow and long-term growth potential.

The fund prioritizes capital preservation through multiple risk-mitigation strategies, including:

  • Secured Investments – The fund focuses on private credit, preferred equity, mezzanine debt, and bridge debt, all backed by tangible real estate assets. This ensures collateralized investments that help reduce downside risk and provide structured, risk-adjusted returns.
  • Preferred Return Structure – Investors receive a 6% accrued preferred return, meaning they are prioritized before profit-sharing distributions.
  • Diversified Portfolio – Investments are spread across multiple properties and asset types to minimize exposure to any single market or borrower.
  • Experienced Management with Aspen Funds – The fund is managed in partnership with Aspen Funds, a team with a strong track record in private credit and real estate-backed investments, leveraging disciplined underwriting and risk assessment strategies.
  • 2-Year Redemption Period – Unlike traditional long-hold funds, our 2-year redemption option provides investors with flexibility, mitigating liquidity concerns.
  • High-Water Mark Protection – Profit-sharing only occurs after surpassing previous benchmarks, ensuring alignment with investor success.

While all investments carry risk, the fund follows a structured investment strategy focused on collateralized assets and disciplined underwriting to mitigate downside exposure.
