FAQ

Questions, answered.

How we invest, how partnerships work, and what to expect as an investor.

Investment strategy

What is Our Town Capital's investment philosophy?

We focus on active value creation across multiple asset classes. We believe returns come from finding undervalued opportunities, applying operational expertise, and holding a disciplined portfolio. We weigh capital preservation as heavily as growth, using diversified exposure to uncorrelated return streams.

How do you select investments across different asset classes?

Each investment gets diligence specific to its asset class. Real estate is judged on market fundamentals, condition, and value-add potential. Technology is judged on market opportunity, team, and scalability. Credit is judged on collateral quality, borrower profile, and risk-adjusted return. Everything must meet our risk-return bar and improve overall diversification.

What are your target returns and investment horizons?

Targets vary by asset class and we generally aim for competitive, risk-adjusted returns. Horizons typically run 3 to 7 years, sometimes shorter or longer depending on the opportunity. We optimize for consistency across cycles rather than absolute returns.

Partnership structure

Who can invest with Our Town Capital?

Our opportunities are typically available to accredited investors, qualified institutional investors, and family offices. Given the nature of the investments and regulatory requirements, we work with sophisticated investors who understand alternative-investment risk and have appropriate horizons. Each partnership is evaluated individually.

What is the minimum investment requirement?

Minimums vary by opportunity and investor type. We structure participation around each investor’s objectives and our current opportunities.

How are investments structured legally?

Investments are typically held through limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or other appropriate vehicles depending on the opportunity and investor requirements. Each structure is designed for appropriate liability protection, tax efficiency, and alignment of interests.

Operations and reporting

How often do you provide updates to investors?

We send quarterly reports covering performance, asset updates, market commentary, and outlook, and we communicate material developments as they happen. We hold annual investor meetings, and the investor portal gives 24/7 access to current statements and reports.

What information is included in investor reporting?

Reports include performance metrics, asset-level updates, financial statements, cash-flow projections, and market analysis. We also share the reasoning behind new investments, exits, and strategic changes. Reporting follows institutional standards and the level of detail sophisticated investors expect.

How do you handle investor communications and relations?

We stay in regular contact through formal reports, investor calls, and direct access to our team. Our investor relations group is available for questions and additional detail. We treat transparency and communication as the foundation of long-term partnerships.

Risk management

How do you manage investment risk across different asset classes?

Risk management runs through the whole process. We diversify across asset classes, geographies, and strategies, and each investment carries specific mitigations such as conservative leverage, quality collateral, and active monitoring. Portfolio construction favors uncorrelated return streams to reduce overall volatility.

What happens during market downturns?

Our diversified, active approach is built for resilience under stress. We keep leverage conservative, favor cash-flowing assets, and have managed through multiple cycles. Downturns often surface attractive opportunities, and we will adjust to take advantage of dislocations.

How do you protect investor capital?

Capital protection comes from layered defense: rigorous diligence, conservative underwriting, diversification, active monitoring, and appropriate liquidity reserves. We also invest our own capital alongside partners. All investments carry risk, but preservation is the foundation we build returns on.

Getting started

What is the process for becoming an investor?

It starts with a conversation about your objectives and our current opportunities, followed by sharing materials, mutual diligence, and structuring an investment if there is a fit. The process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on complexity.

What should I prepare for our initial discussion?

Come ready to discuss your objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and any constraints. It helps to understand your current allocation and how alternatives might fit. We will share our approach, current opportunities, and answer questions on strategy and process.

How long does it take to complete an investment?

Once terms are agreed, documentation and funding typically take 1 to 2 weeks. That covers subscription agreements, compliance documentation, and funding. We move efficiently while making sure every legal and regulatory requirement is met.
