Income

X

Our income fund is designed to generate consistent passive income every month for our investors. Every month we send preferred returns right into your bank account – 9% annually. Or, if you like, you can reinvest those returns and compound your investment.

Also, every quarter we add up any additional profits and share those with our investors. These profits are accrued into the share price, so the value of your shares grow too. What about when you need some or all of your money back? Unlike most private funds, we offer investors the ability to redeem their investment on a quarterly basis after our 1-year lock-up period.

Learn more about the fund strategy.

Growth

X

Our growth funds are designed to generate strong returns for investors who want to grow and compound their wealth. We started our first fund using this niche strategy and have produced strong results. We continue to operate several funds using this strategy.

Because this is such a niche strategy, and we are very selective in the assets we purchase, we are currently unable to deploy more capital. Be sure to subscribe to our email list to be notified as new opportunities arise or we create new funds.
