Proprium Capital Partners, L.P. (“Proprium”) is an investment advisory firm founded in
August 2012. Proprium’s principal owners are J. Timothy Morris and Philipp Westermann.
Immediately prior to founding Proprium, the Mr. Morris served as a managing director in
Morgan Stanley’s real estate division, where his portfolio management responsibilities
encompassed various investment accounts managed by Morgan Stanley, including the
Morgan Stanley Fund (as defined below). Effective March 1, 2013, Proprium commenced
investment advisory operations.
Proprium’s investment advisory business is principally focused on providing discretionary
investment advisory and sub-advisory services to its clients, which include one or more
pooled investment vehicles (collectively, the “Pooled Investment Funds”) organized
primarily to make minority or controlling opportunistic investments in public and private
equity securities as well as public and private fixed income instruments of real estate and
real estate-related portfolio companies (including other pooled investment vehicles). Such
portfolio companies may include companies that are primarily engaged in businesses
focused on the ownership, operation or development of, or the provision of services relating
to, real estate assets. Proprium also from time to time establishes certain related co-
investment vehicles (a “Co-Investment Fund”, and collectively with the Pooled Investment
Funds, the “Funds”) typically for the purpose of making a single investment. Proprium also
provides discretionary investment advisory services to eight Co-Investment Funds. The
Funds may also, as part of their respective investment strategies, invest in securities and
real estate indices and in derivatives linked to such indices and to individual real estate
companies. Additionally, from time to time, the Funds may also invest directly in real
estate and real estate-related assets.
As noted above, during his tenure as managing director within Morgan Stanley’s real estate
division, Mr. Morris provided portfolio management services to various investment
accounts managed by Morgan Stanley, including Morgan Stanley Real Estate Special
Situations Fund III, L.P. (the “Morgan Stanley Fund”). In connection with Mr. Morris’s
departure from Morgan Stanley, as of March 1, 2013, the
Morgan Stanley Fund ceased: (i)
making new investments and (ii) accepting subscriptions from new investors as well as
additional subscriptions from pre-existing investors. Additionally, pursuant to a Sub-
Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2013, among
Proprium, the Morgan Stanley Fund and Morgan Stanley Real Estate Special Situations
III-GP, L.L.C. (the “Morgan Stanley GP”), Proprium agreed to continue to provide
investment advisory services to the Morgan Stanley Fund in respect of certain of its pre-
existing investments. Further, on March 1, 2013, Proprium organized a new Fund, the
Proprium Real Estate Special Situations Fund, L.P. (the “Proprium Fund”), whose purpose
is to generally continue the investment strategy of the Morgan Stanley Fund. The Proprium
Fund began accepting subscriptions from new investors as well as existing Morgan Stanley
Fund investors on March 1, 2013. As of December 2023, the Proprium Fund converted to
a closed-end fund and is no longer accepting subscriptions
Proprium tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and restrictions
of each client account as set forth in such client account’s confidential private placement
memorandum, limited partnership agreement, investment management agreement and/or
other governing documents (collectively, the “Governing Documents”). Investors and
prospective investors of each Fund should refer to the Governing Documents of the
applicable Fund for complete information on the investment objectives and investment
restrictions with respect to such Fund. There is no assurance that any of the Funds’ or other
client accounts’ investment objectives will be achieved or that their investment strategies
will be successful.
In accordance with common industry practice, one or more of the Funds and/or their
general partners have or may in the future enter into “side letters” or similar arrangements
with certain investors pursuant to which the general partner grants the investor specific
rights, benefits or privileges that are not made available to investors generally.
Proprium does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
As of December 31, 2023, Proprium had approximately $4,306,832,000 in assets under
management, all of which Proprium manages on a discretionary basis.
