Mature Businesses…
GBI believes that mature, profitable, closely held businesses represent a unique asset class where holdings have a proven track record, and tremendous returns are attainable.
Risk is mitigated through a variety of requirements and techniques: proven profitability, stability, heavy collateral, segmentation of on-going acquisitions, cost-control benchmarks, and strong influence or control over strategic initiatives identified in the due diligence process.
GBI employs multiple initiatives that work to create alpha for the portfolio holdings: tax reduction, digital marketing, operational efficiencies, and/or scaling through M&A.
Selection Process
Private Credit…
The Private Credit market serves those that require speed, wish to avoid disclosure, or cannot qualify for all requirements of traditional financing. GBI has relationships with many deployment outlets for Private Credit and thus created Good Bull Lending to maximize that opportunity.
To simplify the process and limit risk, GB Lending provides fixed preferred returns based on a lock-up schedule to investors. This means GB Lending only profits by its ability to manage a spread between gross deployment returns and the preferred return owed to its investor base.
Real Estate…
Real Estate has historically provided stable returns. GBI will look to offer Real Estate deals via syndication on a deal-by-deal basis. Preferred returns, waterfalls, and fees may vary on each deal, so be sure to review the exact details of each offering.
It is possible the fund will also look to seed certain Real Estate development when it can obtain an equity return while mitigating downside risk, meaning we would not take a first loss position in a deal.
