This Episode Can an evergreen fund deliver the benefits of long-term real estate ownership without forcing investors to start over with every new deal? Ellis Hammond of Aspen Funds presents the Aspen Legacy Fund, a multifamily fund designed to compound capital, limit tax drag, and provide exposure to multiple properties through a single K-1. Chris Lopez, Pascal Wagner, and Christine Kwasny examine the fund’s assets, debt, valuation process, liquidity provisions, and investment strategy. They also press Ellis on refinancing risk, related-party investments, NAV calculations, redemption limits, and what investors should understand before treating a two-year lockup as true liquidity. Key takeaways: • How the evergreen structure is designed to reduce taxes and deployment lag • Why the fund reinvests income instead of paying regular distributions • How direct ownership, JV investments, and private credit fit into the portfolio • How Aspen calculates NAV and values the underlying properties • The refinancing risks tied to the fund’s multifamily debt • Why redemption requests remain subject to liquidity and best efforts Join a community of passive investors.
