MARBLE CAPITAL FUND IV
Summary
Marble Capital, LP is seeking to raise $750MM for Marble Capital Fund IV (“Fund IV”), a fully discretionary investment fund primarily focused on providing preferred equity for ground-up multifamily developments in high-growth markets across the country. Fund IV will focus on providing investors with a defensive investment generating equity-like returns while taking on debt-like risk in a historically low volatility asset class.
Investment Thesis
Severe Housing Shortage Nationally Creates Deep Opportunity Set: With single family housing supply at record lows and multifamily occupancy at record highs, significantly more housing is needed to meet demand. Marble is ideally positioned to take advantage of the housing shortage with its proprietary developer network.
Proven Concept and Strong Track Record: Since 2016, Marble Capital has invested or committed ~1.6 billion of equity into ~135 multifamily developments across the country with an average rate of ~14%. Fund returns have met or exceeded expectations in all instances having never lost a dollar of principal.
Capital Markets Dislocation: Construction loan leverage remains well below historic norms, creating a “gap” in developer’s capital stacks which Fund IV seeks to fill using a preferred equity investment with payback priority senior to the common equity.
Defensive Investment Structure: The strategy is primarily focused on downside protected, preferred equity investments up to 70-75% loan to value, leaving an equity cushion of 25-30% before losing a dollar of principal. Historical back-testing shows no occurrence of value loss near this amount in the multifamily sector.
Low Volatility & Minimal Correlation to Public Markets: Over the last 20 years, private real estate funds have shown extremely low or negative correlation to equities, bonds and publicly traded REITs.
Attractive Risk-Adjusted Returns: Given today’s record valuations, this preferred equity strategy offers attractive risk-adjusted returns in a hard asset exhibiting minimal historical downside.
