How we underwrite

Downside first. Vertically integrated. Transparently accounted.

A vertically integrated operating, trading, debt-placement and analytics group built around one discipline: underwrite the downside first.

ScaleThree arenas

Positions across real estate, the markets and operating businesses.

DisciplineDownside first

Every position is underwritten to its downside before its upside.

ArchitectureOne platform

A contracted joint-venture network, orchestrated as one platform.

Discipline first

We underwrite to the downside first.

We underwrite real estate at as-is values and finance operating-business acquisitions with SBA 7(a) senior debt. Our markets partner, CFXM, trades SPX options in multi-leg positions with a defined maximum loss per position.

Each discipline is delivered through a contracted joint-venture partner: construction through Master Pro Solutions, debt placement and analytics through Connected Capital, and market execution and trading technology through CFXM Inc.

We plan for a full market cycle, not for the top of one.

01

Downside first

Each position is underwritten to its downside before its upside.

02

Vertical integration

Origination, execution, operations and accounting delivered through contracted JV partners, never outsourced to anonymous third parties.

03

Conservative underwriting

Stress-tested at as-is values, with loss thresholds set before entry and fixed-rate or hedged financing where available. Not underwritten to an optimistic exit.

04

Transparent accounting

Monthly reporting at the position level across every discipline.
