The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) qualified the DiversyFund Growth REIT under Regulation A in November 2018. What this means is that we go through rigorous vetting, which includes strict reporting requirements and annual audits similar to the standards for public companies listed on the stock market.
DiversyFund owns and operates the fund and its assets: this provides direct ownership for investors. The fund is not available on public markets and therefore not correlated with stock fluctuations, adding a layer of protection to the portfolio.
DiversyFund is eliminating middleman fees because we do everything in-house. At the REIT level, we do not charge any platform level or management fees. We are able to limit our fees to just a project level acquisition/development fee because we are the real estate sponsor on all of the deals that the REIT invests in (the sponsor is the entity responsible for finding, acquiring, managing and selling assets in a real estate deal).
Our expert real estate team directs the identification, underwriting, and financing of the assets DiversyFund invests in. These include both acquisitions and development with a highly seasoned team overseeing the execution of the business plans for each investment. The team has over 75 years of combined real estate experience.
