Velocis Management, LLC (“Velocis” or the “Adviser”) was co-founded by W. Frederick (Fred)
Hamm, Michael (Mike) Lewis, and James (Jim) Yoder in 2010 as a Delaware limited liability
company with a principal place of business in Dallas, Texas. The senior management team of
Velocis is comprised of Mr. Hamm, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Yoder, Paul Smith and David Seifert, who
all hold an equity interest in the Adviser. Velocis acts as the investment adviser to private real
estate secondary investment funds (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are privately
offered real estate secondary investment vehicles that are structured as Delaware limited
partnerships, each managed by a General Partner (“General Partner”) which is an affiliate of
the Adviser. The Funds may be referred to as Clients (each a “Client”) throughout this
document.
Velocis is a private equity real estate investment manager whose investment advisory
services consist of investments in other private funds with real estate focus through the
secondary market and select non-controlled real estate investments. Velocis is a large real
estate investor, and a sub-set of its activities are investment advisory services.
Velocis investment advisory activities seek to generate attractive, risk-adjusted opportunistic
returns by constructing a diversified real estate portfolio across a range of geographies,
property types, strategies, and vintage years via equity interest acquisitions and General
Partner-led liquidity-driven transactions in real estate funds and real estate assets. Velocis
provides discretionary investment services to private funds that are exempt from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and
whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities
Act”). Each fund is generally structured as a limited partnership with an affiliated entity to
Velocis serving as General Partner.
Separate
from the investment advisory services Velocis provides to its Clients, Velocis also
provides investment selection, execution, and management services to privately offered
partnerships (or similar legal entities) which invest exclusively in controlled real estate
investments (collectively, the “Real Estate Funds”). Because the Real Estate Funds only invest
in or own real assets, such entities do not invest in securities or receive investment advisory
services from Velocis (meaning they are not “clients” for purposes of the Advisers Act) and
the value of such Real Estate Funds or their investments are not included in Velocis’
calculation of regulatory assets under management disclosed below.
Velocis provides discretionary investment advisory services based on each Fund’s
investment guidelines as outlined in each fund’s operative documents. Velocis tailors its
investment advisory services to each private fund. However, Velocis does not tailor its
advisory services to the individual needs of the private fund investors, (“Investors” or
“Limited Partners”) and such investors may not impose restrictions on investing in certain
securities or types of investments.
Additionally, Velocis at its discretion has entered and may enter into additional agreements,
or “side letters,” with Fund investors whereby such investors may be subject to terms and
conditions that vary from or are more advantageous than those applicable to other investors.
Persons reviewing this Brochure should not construe this Brochure as an offering of any of
the Funds described herein, which will only be made pursuant to delivery of a confidential
offering memorandum to prospective eligible investors.
Velocis does not participate in wrap fee programs.
As of December 31, 2023, the Adviser managed approximately $268,390,240 in regulatory
assets under management on a discretionary basis. Velocis does not manage any advisory
client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
