Marble Capital Launches Fund V


We are excited to announce the launch of Marble Capital Fund V, the fifth commingled fund in our flagship fund series. 


Targeting $850 million, the fund offers investors a unique strategy of investing preferred equity into a diversified portfolio of 50+ multifamily developments in high-growth markets across the Sunbelt. The fund expects to hold a first closing in the spring of 2025 for which first close participants will receive a 15 bps reduction in their annual management fee.

Investment Thesis

  • Targeting “equity-like returns” (12-15% IRR net to LPs) with “debt-like risk” (senior position to common equity, 70-75% LTV, 7.5-8.0% implied cap rate, no cost overrun exposure)
  • Tax-advantaged structure – long term capital gains expected on majority of fund investments*
  • Investing in fragmented, lower middle market with less competition ($5-20MM per investment) 
  • Focus on suburban properties with low cost basis, affordable rent check and low construction risk
  • Shorter fund duration projected to be fully realized ~5 years from final close 

 

Why Now?

  • Currently achieving the best preferred equity terms in company history (higher rates, lower risk positions) 
  • Historic low senior debt capital and limited equity for new development creating a “gap” in developers' capital stacks
  • Muted forward supply pipeline (fewest starts in over a decade) portends positive fundamentals during the fund's harvest period
  • Development profit margins typically too low to justify equity risk --> preferred equity offers better risk-adjusted returns

 

Track Record & Experience

  • A leading preferred equity provider in the nation with built-in first-mover advantage having made ~200 investments to 100+ multifamily developers since 2016
  • Never lost a dollar of principal and have received stated rate on all realized full-cycle preferred equity investments through up and down cycles
  • Realized 45 investments with an average net project IRR of 15% and 1.5x MoIC to LPs**

Footnotes: *Equity investments must have been held in service for over 12 months to qualify for long term capital gains (LTCG). Investments not structured as equity and/or that are placed in service for less than 12 months will be taxed as ordinary income. LTCG tax treatment pertains to the partnership level treatment and Marble Capital advises all investors to consult their tax advisor regarding how this tax treatment impacts an individual return. **This performance metric is intended to represent a composite portfolio of the weighted average net returns to LP’s from all investments in Marble Capital Funds I, II and III that were placed over the course of 2016-2022 and that have been realized as of Dec 31, 2024 (Fund IV has not yet had any realized investments). This performance metric includes realized returns on both common equity and preferred equity investments with common equity investments making up ~15% of the total and preferred equity investments making up ~85% of the total. This performance metric is not meant to indicate fund level returns of any or all of the funds. The actual and projected performance of Funds I, II, and III can be found on slide [14] of the presentation linked above. Please refer to the appendix in the above-linked presentation for the entire track record of all realized and unrealized fund-level investments. The net returns shown are as of Dec 31, 2024 and are only an estimate of the returns that the investments would provide to an investor if they were part of a standalone portfolio and not investments in the separate funds. The net returns are shown for informational purposes only and are not actual returns achieved by any investors. The estimated net project returns for individual investments are calculated by multiplying the individual gross project level returns by a factor that is equal to the ratio of the total projected Fund net return divided by the estimated total gross project level return of the related Fund portfolio. The individual net project returns across Funds I, II and III are combined as a weighted average to calculate the composite portfolio Net IRR. The resulting Net IRR of the composite portfolio will vary from actual performance due to a difference in fund level expenses, timing of the fund’s final liquidation, actual results of other investments, etc. Net performance of individual investments reflects estimated returns after management fees, operating expenses, carried interest and debt service but before state or federal income taxes accruing to the LP. Funds II and III use permanent leverage secured by fund investments, and the general partner expects that this leverage had the impact of increasing both the Net IRR and Net MOIC of the composite portfolio. Net returns are calculated using the highest management fee rate to LPs rather than the average return of all investors. This calculation is not based on audited financials, and actual results may differ. This return metric should not be relied upon for making investment decisions.
