How CREI Partners Aligns Investor and Sponsor Interests in Every Deal

Ever suspect an investment might be set up to benefit the sponsors more than the investors? Hi, I'm Wayne Courage iii, managing principal of CREI Partners. Passive investors are keen to ensure that the deal structure aligns everyone's interest. This means things like sponsors are getting paid when investors are getting paid, for example, via performance based incentives to promote a profit split rather than heavy upfront fees. Investors like to see sponsors invest in their own capital in the deal too, because it proves we believe in the project personally. They also look for fair profit splits. A sponsor has taken an outsized share of profits beyond market norms. That's a red flag. Lineman builds trust. You want to know we're motivated to work hard for the deal's success because our outcome is tied to yours. When interests are aligned, we're all rowing in the same direction. At CRAI Partners, we typically structure deals so the limited partners, that's you, get the first share of returns, a preferred return. And we as sponsors only earn our larger share after you've been paid your due. That resonates with passive investors who value fairness and partnership.
