Why Cresfund?
An Outdated Model
A traditional brokerage firm and advisor charge a fee to the client whether the client’s investments go up or down. If you invest $500,000.00 with a traditional broker and your investment loses $50,000.00 the first year, that firm is still getting paid a significant fee on your investments. This model creates what we refer to as portfolio drag, and can significantly erode the earnings of a portfolio over time.
The Cresfund Model
Cresfund’s model is vastly different. Firstly, Cresfund does not get paid a management or administration fee, or a fee of any kind until we make money for the client. How does our model work?
Simple. Cresfund doesn’t receive any money until 5% is returned to the investor.
After 5% we simply split the return with the investor. This means we have to work hard for the client first and after they make money only then do we make money. We do not believe you should charge a fee if the client does not make money.
See the following examples:
This model serves the client first rather than the other way around like traditional Wall Street models. We truly believe by putting the client first we build long-term healthy relationships that benefit the client and Cresfund. A win-win scenario. Investing should be simple and transparent, not difficult and confusing.
We purchase in “B” and “C” markets for both equity and yield. “B” and “C” real estate markets tend to be less volatile than “A” markets.
We don’t use traditional loans and use cash to buy discounted and distressed properties that we can increase the equity and yield in.
Yes, we use a third-party Trust Company to ensure all qualified plans remain in a qualified tax-advantaged plan. We never recommend moving from a qualified plan to and non-qualified investment.
We typically like a 3-5 year minimum commitment and generally avoid short term investments. However, in the event someone has a need for their money, we have a specified withdrawal period of 90 days.
