Frequently Asked Questions

How does Fund Sommelier source the funds that appear on the Marketplace?

We leverage our deep industry experience and broad network of professional relationships to source a diverse variety of private real estate funds for our marketplace. Our model especially appeals to fund managers who feature a strong combination of skill, passion, and strategy, and are seeking to forge new investor relationships in order to achieve new levels of scale. Prior to accepting any fund, we evaluate the fund manager using due diligence process described below.

What is Fund Sommelier’s due diligence process?

We, in partnership with our Broker Dealer, complete an in-depth review of the following, where applicable, for each Fund Manager we invite to present an offering on our Marketplace.

Principal Questionnaire: This entails a series of questions we require every Fund Manager to complete, providing the information we use to obtain comprehensive background checks on each Principal of the Fund Management entity
Fund Documents
a. Private Placement Memorandum
b. Operating Agreement(s): This includes OAs for both the Fund offering as well as the Manager entity and any entity owning 25%+ of the Manager entity
c. Subscription Agreement
d. Contracts: We review copies of certain material contracts between the Fund and any third-party providers (auditors, legal counsel, administrators, etc.)
Financial Information
a. Track Record: A spreadsheet reflecting all historical assets acquired by the Fund and the primary Sponsor managing the fund. This includes all assets currently owned/active assets as well as those that have gone full cycle. Upon receipt and review of the spreadsheet, Our Broker/Dealer then selects a subset of assets for further review and verification.
b. Fund Financial Statements: YTD and prior year end, if applicable
Investor Communication & Marketing Materials
a. Copies of the most recent (the last two periods) investor reports, newsletters, updates or other correspondence provided to existing investors in the fund
b. Slide decks, tear sheets, or other similar material used to market the fund

What kinds of returns can I earn?

There are two types of investments that investors may have access to when investing in real estate funds: debt and equity investments. If you hold an equity position, payments are typically on a quarterly basis, assuming there is sufficient cash to distribute after fees and expenses. Those payments fluctuate based on the Net Income generated by the fund and any sales of assets within the fund, contingent on available cash.

If you are a note holder, you may receive monthly payments at a set interest rate, either accrued or paid current depending on the investment, and assuming the fund generates sufficient cash to make payments on your note. You should review all offering documents thoroughly and consult with your investment, tax, and legal professionals before deciding what type of investment is best in your circumstances.

Are investment returns guaranteed?

No, investing in real estate is speculative and involves risk, including a loss of some or all of the investment principle. Investors should not invest more in any of the investments on the marketplace unless they can afford to lose their full investment.

What are the fees?

There is no charge for an investor to use Fund Sommelier’s marketplace. Real estate funds typically carry a management fee which may be in the range of 1%-3%. There may also be some additional fees and fund expenses outlined in each fund’s Private Placement Memorandum (i.e. origination or acquisition fees, capital raise fees to the broker-dealer, onboarding fees, tax preparation expenses, and other fees and administration costs). Consult the offering documents for any fund you are considering and talk to your investment professional to understand all fees that may apply prior to making a decision to invest in a fund.

How do I receive my investment proceeds?

The timing of when distributions begin will differ by offering, but generally once excess operating capital becomes available, it is supposed to be paid out to investors as outlined by the terms of the private placement memorandum for that offering. Typically it will be deposited into investors’ accounts via ACH.

How long will my capital be tied up and are there opportunities for liquidity?

The length of time your investment capital will remain tied up will vary depending on the fund type and the specific terms for a particular fund. Generally speaking:

Closed-End Funds: Closed-End Funds typically have a lifespan of 5-7 years.

Open-End “Evergreen” Funds: Note holders can expect a 1-3 year commitment for their funds. Equity investors generally have some right to request a redemption after a fixed period of time known as a “lockup period.” Redemptions are typically subject to available cash and made at the manager’s discretion. Redemption requests may take time to fulfill, and may not be honored prior to the wind down of a fund.

What kind of tax documents will I receive?

The type of document a fund manager will distribute to investors depends on the investment type.

Equity fund: Investors typically receive a Form K-1. It is important to note that due to the complex process dependencies involved in generating K-1s, fund managers generally expect to distribute K-1s after April 15th each year. Therefore, most real estate equity investors file their returns on an extended basis.

Debt fund: Note holders generally receive a Form-1099, typically by February 15th each year.
