The company does offer two managed funds for investors that don’t want to select specific properties on their own. The funds are the “The Aeternum Core Fund” and the “The Aeternum Value-Add Fund.” The former pursues a Core CRE strategy, which entails investing in established, high-quality properties in well known, mature markets. The latter fund utilizes a Value-Add strategy, which entails investing in buildings where the sponsor has an opportunity to increase asset values through a combination of property renovations, increased operating efficiency and improved marketing. In a Value-Add strategy, a property can be upgraded to a higher class from a lower class and target returns are typically higher than for Core.
The benefits of the funds include automatic diversification, professional management and low minimum investment of just $1,000.
