What do investors see as a solid LP return?
31 July 2024 | 20 replies
I specifically want to expand on Chris's point by discussing capital risk buckets, which help set a target return range for IRR.At my company, they are as follows:Core: Lowest risk, Class A product, in Central Business Districts, ranging from 7-10%+ levered IRR (since you're in development, I assume this is most of the asset class you handle).Core Plus: Still low risk, strong location with potential upside, 10-13% levered IRR.Value Add: Medium-high risk, Class B+ or B-, mediocre to strong location with operational or physical upside, 13-15% levered IRR.Opportunistic: Highest risk, major upside potential, varying locations, 15-20% levered IRR.As for the GP/LP split on promoted interest, GPs can choose an aggressive split, but the decision should be strategic and consider the preferences and risk tolerances of potential investors.
