ORLANDO, Fla. - Aug. 30, 2019 - Capital Q Ventures Inc. (CAPQ) today announced the launch of its newest Tri-Party Venture Fund, named Galo Specialty Fund LLLP. This new actively-managed fund, which is expected to launch September 1, 2019, will be offered to qualified investors and is a non-diversified closed-end investment fund, wrapped around, Clube Atletico Mineiro, a major league soccer team from Brazil founded in 1908. Commonly known as Atlético Mineiro or Atlético, and affectionately known as "Galo" (the "Rooster") which is the team's beloved mascot, the team takes roots as being one of the international teams responsible for establishing Brazilian Football (soccer) as the most popular sport in all of their country and now the entire world.
"The Tri-Party Venture Fund strategy, is to identify and maintain mutually exclusive agreements with quality companies as their pre-qualified "Venture Partners", as Capital Q Ventures Inc. has reviewed its past funding performance and believes that the Venture Partner has demonstrated verifiable, historical, consistent, sustainable and replicable business models that financing would provide above-market, risk-adjusted returns to investors, admitted as Limited Partners to the Fund," said Michael "Q" Quatrini, CEO of Capital Q Ventures. "We believe this type of concentration into high-value target Venture Partners, gives positive investment exposure and can serve as an effective inflation hedge and also provide value in mitigating volatility risks."
CAPQ's new fund will bring a new entrant to the hedge fund category, which while inconsistent with a more broadly indexed passively managed ETF, who attempt to spread the investment over the full gamut of companies in a selected investment pool, regardless of company performance. Tri-Party Venture Funds seek to separate themselves by investing solely in debt and to a lesser extent equity financing arrangement, in what CAPQ believes are the "best of breed" companies in each category.
The Fund will offer Partnership Units, at a $50,000 investment minimum through its Dealer Manager JCF Capital Markets, headquartered in Carlsbad, California. The Galo Specialty Fund Prospectus is available for certain accredited Investors at GaloFund.com.
Actively managed by Capital Q Ventures' experienced investment teams
The Galo Specialty Fund will seek to outperform the S&P 500 by investing in private senior secured debt and to lesser extent equity of its Venture Partner and its financing needs, such as Senior Secure loans, Mezzanine Loans, equity participation transactions, and joint venture funding situations, which add an additional layer of inflation protection.
Capital Q Management LLC, will serve as the fund's advisors, bringing their deep experience and expertise to the management of the fund. Capital Q Ventures assigns an industry analyst team to be embedded into the Venture Partners financial operations, becoming specialist rather than generalists as key fund strategists, analysts, and portfolio managers, with uncommon access to the Venture Partner and trends within its business.
Tri-Party Venture Fund: Rewards and risks
Tri-Party Venture Fund investments can be appealing for investors seeking a hedge against inflation, especially as inflation shocks have been historically volatile and hard to predict. Additionally, the separation of a Company's performance from the performance of its debt service and to a lesser extent its equity investments, while non-diversified can offer benefits to a balanced portfolio, as their returns tend to move independently from those of exchange-traded ETFs, bonds, and equities. However, there can be considerable risks with Tri-Party Venture Funds, including episodic financial cycles, which may tend to lower returns over extended periods.
