Investment Strategy
Shaikh Capital Fund I is a multi-strategy real estate private equity fund developed to make investments in US suburban multi-family housing communities and special situation commercial real estate assets. The focus will be on acquiring assets in high barrier to entry markets in the Northeastern corridor in the United States between Washington D.C., to the South, and Boston, Massachusetts, to the North. The Fund will also review select assets in the greater metropolitan areas of Texas – as those areas are experiencing an economic growth cycle generating attractive returns. The Fund will leverage the deep experience and extensive networks of the Fund’s General Partner to identify, finance, acquire, manage and dispose of assets. The fund intends to serve as a capital preservation vehicle while generating above market returns.
The funds strategy will be to assemble a portfolio of stable, income producing multifamily apartment communities and commercial assets in order to generate current income for regular distribution, targeting stable and robust equity returns.
Shaikh Capital Partners concentrates on all of the requisite areas for successful principal investing including: originating acquisitions (often through proprietary channels), capital raising, investment and financial structuring, underwriting, due diligence, redevelopment and development management, asset management, investment management, investor reporting, property operations, accounting, project management, and dispositions.
Shaikh Capital Partners investment approach begins with thorough research of the markets in which we operate. We monitor over 7 cities across the United States both from a macro and micro economic perspective, looking for trends that we believe will provide interesting and rewarding investment opportunities. This ongoing review gives us the flexibility to quickly adapt our investment approach and take full advantage of changing market conditions.
This process, combined with our strong on the ground US presence, allows us to identify the markets and opportunities most likely to deliver above average returns. Such performance could be a result of cyclical developments such as the recovery of the US economy, or structural and regulatory changes created by one-time events, such as the US recovery act.
When we begin to examine a potential investment opportunity, we look at the ways in which we can add value. We take a hands-on approach to investment management, generally focusing on fixing and enhancing the assets to ensure we deliver maximum returns to our investors.
There are a number of ways in which we see the value in real estate. Whether this involves applying a focused leasing and expense reduction strategy or undertaking development or redevelopment plans, a tailored plan is developed for each investment that identifies the key milestones and profit drivers to achieve the targeted result. In addition, our investment plans focus on driving returns through efficient capital and financial structuring.
Our team members know and understand the markets we invest in because they are based there. We are continually researching the local markets, working with local people and using local networks and resources. This allows us to combine excellent local expertise and the ability to work with well-established networks in each region with the broader perspective and experience achieved from operating in widely differing markets.
Shaikh Capital Partners investment approach focuses on fundamental real estate analysis but considers factors such as the macroeconomic environment, the direction of the business cycle and local real estate market conditions. The objective of Shaikh Capital Partners is to create a balanced portfolio of assets, both in terms of asset class and geographical spread. Through the identification of supply-demand source imbalances in capital, product types and information availability, Shaikh Capital Partners achieves attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in real estate, non-performing loans, distressed assets, real estate-dependent operating companies, and select commercial and residential development opportunities throughout the United States.
Shaikh Capital Partners pursues assets held by financial institutions, government entities, developers, public and private companies and public and private security holders.
