SPAC vehicles have been around for decades Director of Private Equity but have recently risen in popularity as experienced investors and management teams have chosen this route to decrease the risks associated with a traditional initial public offering (IPO).

    Real Estate to Oil and Gas to Revenue Generating Growth Companies

    2018 NEWSLETTER We hope you enjoy reviewing our first annual newsletter highlighting some of our activity from 2018 and including a few notes regarding our anticipated focus for 2019. RGI and Marc Realty Capital (“MRC”) have remained very active since the downturn in 2008. Between 2009 and 2015 we were focused on buying a deal every 10 days in core Chicago neighborhoods, mostly from distressed sellers. In 2016, we were forced to shift away from Chicago multifamily as pricing appeared too high for our risk tolerance. Rather than limit ourselves to one niche market, we spent significant time finding operating partners nationally to capitalize on numerous and potentially uncorrelated niche markets ranging from real estate to oil and gas to revenue generating growth companies. We even traveled to Dubai and sub-Saharan Africa in search of mispriced opportunities. While we are in the process of developing several institutional real estate assets, we tend to also thrive in mid-market private investment deals. 50% or more of a deal’s success is based on the market, which we can not control. However, we do have control over buying the right assets in attractive markets as well as partnering with and overseeing the best operators. BELOW IS A SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE DEALS THAT RGI SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED IN 2018: REAL ESTATE 800 S WELLS, CHICAGO, IL $150,000,000 All-In Basis DECEMBER 21, 2018 This transaction is the largest ever condo deconversion globally, comprising 449 residential units, 250,000 NRSF of retail and office space, and 150 parking spaces. RGI partnered with The Wolcott Group, MRC and Fred Bronstein running point for the real estate team at Elliott Management Corporation to purchase this building known as “River City.” If fully rented today, in its current condition, the as-is cap rate of this purchase is around 6% and we believe we will stabilize this to over a 7% cap rate.

    Mutual Funds As Venture Capitalists? Evidence from Unicorns1

    Mutual Funds as Venture Capitalists? Evidence from Unicorns1 Sergey Chernenko Josh Lerner Yao Zeng Purdue University Harvard University University of Washington and NBER December 2018 Abstract Using novel contract-level data, we study open-end mutual funds investing in unicorns—highly valued, privately held start-ups—and their association with corporate governance provisions. Larger funds and those with more stable funding are more likely to invest in unicorns. Both mutual fund participation and the mutual fund share of the financing round are strongly correlated with the round’s contractual provisions. Compared to venture capital groups, mutual funds are underrepresented on boards of directors, suggesting less direct monitoring. However, rounds with mutual fund participation have stronger redemption and IPO-related rights, consistent with mutual funds’ liquidity needs and vulnerability to down-valuation IPOs. 1 We thank Francesca Cornelli, Slava Fos, Jesse Fried, Will Gornall, Jarrad Harford, Michelle Lowry, William Mann, John Morley, Ramana Nanda, Clemens Sialm, Morten Sorensen, Ilya Strebulaev, Xiaoyun Yu, and conference and seminar participants at the 2017 LBS Private Equity Symposium, the 2018 NYU/Penn Conference on Law and Finance, the 2017 Southern California Private Equity Conference, the 2018 Stanford Financing of Innovation Summit, the 2018 UNC Private Capital Spring Research Symposium, and the 2018 Western Finance Association meetings.

Rukaiyah Adams, Chief Investment Officer, Meyer Memorial Trust Rukaiyah Adams is the chief investment officer at Meyer Memorial Trust, one of the largest charitable foundations in the Pacific Northwest. She is responsible for leading all investment activities to ensure the long-term financial strength of the organization. Throughout her tenure as chief investment officer, Adams has delivered top quartile performance; and beginning in 2017, her team hit its stride delivering an 18.6% annual return, which placed her in the top 5% of foundation and endowment CIOs. Under the leadership of Adams, Meyer increased assets managed by diverse managers by more than threefold, to 40% of all assets under management, and women managers by tenfold, to 25% of AUM, proving that hiring diverse managers is not a concessionary practice. Before joining Meyer, Adams ran the $6.5 billion capital markets fund at The Standard, a publicly traded company. At The Standard, she oversaw six trading desks that included several bond strategies, preferred equities, derivatives and other risk mitigation strategies. Adams is the chair of the prestigious Oregon Investment Council, the board that manages approximately $100 billion of public pension and other assets for the state of Oregon.
