9. What types of projects does Fortuna Heritage invest in?
We invest in commercial properties, development projects, and luxury real estate. Our portfolio includes both stabilized, income-generating properties and properties that require significant repositioning for long-term growth.

10. How does Fortuna Heritage ensure the success of its investments?
We base our investment strategy on thorough market analysis, data-driven innovation, and collaboration with industry-leading subcontractors. This combination allows us to maximize returns for our clients while ensuring project efficiency and quality.

11. What type of investment returns should I expect?
For stabilized properties, we target low- to mid-teens annual equity returns over the life of the investment. Returns may vary based on the specific project, level of risk, and market conditions. Keep in mind, these are target returns and actual returns may be higher or lower depending on various factors.

12. How long is the typical investment term?
Our investment vehicles generally have a 10-year term, though we reserve the right to extend or shorten the term to maximize property value. We focus on long-term investments, allowing properties time to appreciate and rents to rise.

13. How often will I receive distributions?
The frequency of distributions depends on the vehicle you choose to invest in:

  • For accredited investors, distributions are generally paid monthly, though we may adjust this based on property cash flow.

  • For non-accredited investors, we aim for quarterly distributions, but at least annually.

Note that certain properties may not produce near-term distributions if capital improvements or repositioning are required.

14. What fees does Fortuna Heritage charge?
We charge:

  • A 1% asset management fee based on the total equity raised

  • A 1% transaction fee on property acquisitions and disposals

  • A 20% management promote based on distributable cash flow

Our fee structure is competitive compared to other private estate managers. We do not charge miscellaneous fees such as processing or storage fees.

15. Is there risk involved in investing with Fortuna Heritage?
Yes, all investments involve risk, including the potential loss of principal. While we conduct thorough research and due diligence, there are many factors beyond our control that may affect property performance. That said, we believe private real estate carries less volatility compared to other investments like stocks. Fortuna Heritage itself invests heavily in every project, aligning our interests with those of our investors. We’ve built a strong track record over the past two decades, with a focus on risk management and sustainable returns.

16. What happens if a property underperforms?
While our goal is always to deliver strong returns, underperformance is a possibility in real estate investing. If a property’s cash flow or market conditions worsen, we may delay distributions or take measures to reposition or improve the asset. Our focus is on maximizing long-term value and mitigating risk whenever possible.

17. What is the process for withdrawing from an investment?
The terms and conditions for withdrawals depend on the specific investment structure. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for detailed information on withdrawal policies and timing.
