What kind of investments will be promoted by the Regional Center?
Investments in groups of diversified portfolio companies will consist of business loans and real estate development projects. Investments may be made in the form of equity, participating loans, secured mortgage loans, or in combinations. These investments will be made across a number of different industries, thereby reducing the risk of being entirely exposed to one industry, location or project. In addition, the investments will be diversified in terms of risk by being composed of senior debt, subordinated debt, and equity. Using a mutual fund approach to the EB-5 Program will reduce the risks associated with more concentrated single-asset projects. Investments will be co-invested with experienced developers, asset managers and business operators, enabling investments in larger projects. This strategy will produce a greater number of jobs, thus substantially reducing the EB-5 job creation compliance risk.
