How We Invest

We protect downside first.

Thematic value investing the market overlooks.

Philosophy

How we think. Protect capital before compounding it.

The downside is where capital actually gets lost. Most allocators acknowledge this. We built ORC's diligence framework around relentlessly protecting capital above all.

Every deal runs through the same scorecard. Numerous weighted dimensions, declination triggers, and three scenario models. If a deal trips a single declination trigger (debt structure too aggressive, basis above market comps, sponsor background unclear), we pass without further analysis.

Deals that clear get scored across market fundamentals, operator quality, basis and margin of safety, cash flow and debt structure, returns profile, and exit defensibility. Each dimension graded against our rigorous standards. Total score must clear our threshold or we pass.

The questions behind the framework:

  • — Can this work in a flat market?
  • — Is the debt conservative?
  • — Does the operator have a real track record?
  • — Would we put our own money in?

If any answer is no, we move on. And the vast majority of deals we review don't clear.

Where We Invest

Three categories. Each chosen for a reason.

Workforce Multifamily Housing

A 5M+ unit US shortage in the asset class no one builds anymore. We invest in Class B multifamily and mobile home parks in supply-constrained Midwest and Sunbelt markets, below replacement cost, with cash flow on day one.

Private Credit

Uncorrelated yield in places traditional credit can't reach. Deals too small, too niche, or too unconventional for standard committees. Asymmetric risk-reward, capital protected first.

Alternative Assets

Prime niches institutional capital hasn't reached yet. Special situations with asymmetric upside. We commit only when the math is undeniable.
