Established in 2001, Equity Capital Fund (ECF) combines international vision with local market know-how and relies on a top-flight team of finance and investment management professionals in nine countries to uncover superior opportunities in the United States and Western Europe .
ECF structures and originates low-risk / high-yield investment vehicles for private equity, functions as an asset manager, leader and participating investor and focuses on building value through the power, dependability and security of real estate.
Our investment assets consistently offer unmatched opportunities for durable growth, security and predictable dividends.
Located in resilient, expanding micro-economies, our investment assets consistently and reliably offer unmatched opportunities for durable growth, security and predictable dividends.
Investment instruments are best suited to those who have a focus on capital protection, along with a fair and practical return over a minimum investment horizon of 5 years.
ECF acquires only commercial assets that enjoy immediate current cash flow and provide three investment return elements :
1.
Dividendspaid on invested capital from current cash flow.
2.
Profit produced from operational and capital improvements of the underlying asset.
3.
Equity appreciation gained from economic expansion and contract rate increases on current leases in chosen markets.
Investment capital earns a pre-tax annual return plus investment-term equity sharing. These combined with asset operational improvements produce the protection, yield and IRR that our institutional bulk financing organizations and private equity investors have come to expect from ECF.
