Control

• Direct financial participation in a performing asset, unlike the purchase of stocks, bonds or commodities
• Stability due to the fact that the majority of the returns come from income, not appreciation.
• Private real estate investments such as Quantums are complimentary to public real estate investments. The main advantage of private real estate is quite simply that returns are primarily reflective of the performance of the underlying asset. Public REITS, on the other hand, are correlated with the long term property market fundamentals, but have return swings that have nothing to do with the health of the real estate markets.
• Diversification among uncorrelated metropolitan areas with different economic structures and cycles to balance returns and enhance a portfolios risk adjusted performance.

Risk Management

• Diversifies investor portfolios in assets that are uncorrelated. Multi-family real estate behaves differently than stocks, bonds and fixed income investments.
• Risk mitigation through professional vetting of deals and management and the preferred return
• Historically less volatile than stocks, produced higher income yields and provided competitive returns on a risk adjusted basis.

Financial Return

• Sharing the wealth: when QA exceeds expectations, our investors win
• Guided access to the complex and financially rewarding domain of real estate investment
• Significant return potential from equity increases at disposition
• Cash flow from Year 1
• Cash flowing real estate can approximate a mix of fixed income and part equity with stock-like appreciation potential.
• Real estate returns have been attractive: Between 1978 and 2006 NAREIT has outperformed NASDAQ, the Russell 2000, the S&P 500 and US government bonds (source CBRE).
• Multi-family investments tend to generate relatively consistent returns over time, because their demand is a function of population and income, neither which are likely to change very quickly, and both of which can be identified in emerging markets
• Multi-family investments provide a hedge against inflation.
