The Tempo Growth Fund LLC’s strategy is to acquire growth-focused real estate-based investments in various forms, including equity securities in other 506 Regulation D funds or intermediary entities that own interests in real property or debt instruments secured by real property, and direct investments in real property or debt instruments secured by real property (each, an “Asset”). The Tempo Growth Fund LLC will acquire Assets whose underlying real estate-based assets are located in target markets across the United States and have a value-add strategy, producing little to no upfront income until value-add work is completed and stabilization is achieved.

The Fund intends to invest primarily in entities and funds managed by Fairway America, LLC or one of its affiliates (collectively “Fairway”), and other selected non-Fairway funds and syndications. The Fund’s Managing Members have extensive experience investing with Fairway and believe they can use that experience to produce attractive returns for Fund investors. The Fund may invest in entities and funds managed by other parties (“Sponsors”) at the Tempo Growth Fund LLC’s sole discretion. The Tempo Growth Fund LLC intends to identify Sponsors that are high-quality real estate-deal syndicators and originators – and who fund Tempo Growth Fund LLCs – with demonstrable character, integrity, impeccable track records, and above-average capabilities in their particular geographic area and real estate-based asset-type niche.

By investing in individual deals or funds through Fairway and other high-quality Sponsors, and by diversifying the Fund’s holdings over a variety of investments with varying real estate asset-based investment strategies and widespread geographic territories, the Tempo Growth Fund LLC believes it can produce superior risk-adjusted returns for the Fund.

The Tempo Growth Fund LLC and its members may be members or general partners of other entities which have investment objectives similar to those of the Fund, which may drive Fund members to pursue investments that are competitive with those of the Fund. The Tempo Growth Fund LLC retains discretion to pursue assets outside the Fund, and intends to pursue such investment opportunities outside the Fund primarily when an asset does not fully match the Fund’s investment strategy or when the Fund is unable to pursue the asset due to capital restraints or other concerns.The decision as to the suitability of any investment by the Fund will be determined by the Tempo Growth Fund LLC in its sole discretion and will be based upon a review of the Fund’s investment portfolio and upon factors including but not limited to asset allocation, investment size, net income, the effect of the investment on diversification of the Fund’s portfolio, and the amount of Fund capital then available for investment. Notwithstanding the Tempo Growth Fund LLC’s broad discretion, the Fund intends primarily to pursue all investments that are in alignment with the Tempo Growth Fund LLC’s objectives through the Fund, and not through other entities.
