Why should I invest in a Claymark Fund?
By investing in a fund such as ours, investors have access to a team with a vast knowledge of all facets of real estate experience. Investors are able to participate in real estate transactions that normally require a great deal of their personal time commitment, a deep knowledge of all things real estate and bigger capital requirements.
• Portfolio Diversification
• A Claymark Fund offers an affordable way to invest in real estate to help diversify your portfolio.
• Bigger isn’t always better
• Our small size and boots-on-the-ground capabilities give us a big advantage: We can scout for value in areas of the real estate market neglected by the larger real estate funds, maintain discipline and execute flawlessly to maximize value and profits.
• Aligned Interests
• We invest significantly in all of our funds because we believe it’s the best place for our own capital. We compensate our team based on performance to ensure alignment and we don’t engage in businesses that create a conflict of interest between us and our investors.
• Consistent Income
• We target to pay out a 8% annual dividend to investors with significant upside potential based on value creation for an overall targeted 12%-18% return.
