Evolution Investment Management (“Evolution IM”) is an SEC-registered investment adviser and real estate private equity fund manager headquartered in Austin, Texas. Since inception, Evolution IM has served as adviser to nine real estate private equity vehicles, including four opportunity funds, two core-plus separately managed institutional accounts, and three sidecar opportunity funds. Across these vehicles, the firm has deployed capital into more than $5.5 billion of real estate across 63 distinct investments in 20 states, encompassing over 11,000 multifamily units and 21 million square feet of commercial space.

Evolution Realty Partners IV LLC ("RP IV") is the Firm's fourth private opportunity fund, targeting $100 million in commitments. The fund primarily pursues GP co-investment opportunities alongside established regional operators, typically providing 50–80% of the sponsor's required equity in exchange for a share of incentive fees. The fund may also pursue certain LP investments that meet targeted risk-adjusted-return thresholds. Approximately 75% of Evolution’s total investments to date have been in the multifamily sector. RP IV will continue this targeted investment approach, as management believes multifamily provides the highest risk-adjusted return potential. In certain instances, the fund may also pursue investment in commercial property special situations. Investments are underwritten to a five-year hold period, targeting net IRRs of 18% or greater and net equity multiples of at least 1.8x, with no leverage at the fund level. RP IV had its initial close in November 2025.

As of March 2026, Evolution's predecessor opportunity funds have produced a weighted average IRR of 24% and a weighted average equity multiple of 2.0x, net of fees and expenses.

Loci Capital is a private middle-market real estate investment firm founded in 2019 and focused on growth markets throughout the Southeastern United States. The firm was built to bridge a persistent gap in private real estate between capital allocators, who often have broad market perspective but limited operating depth, and local operators, who understand execution but may lack portfolio-level discipline and capital markets fluency. Loci’s platform is designed to reduce those blind spots by combining operator-led insight, institutional underwriting, and capital markets structuring inside one decision-making framework.

Loci invests across both property types and the capital stack, including common equity, preferred equity, structured capital, recapitalizations, rescue situations, and selective development. The firm’s strategy is anchored by three principles: cost basis advantage, business plan execution, and secular market tailwinds. In practice, that means pursuing opportunities where entry basis is compelling, downside can be protected through structure and discipline, and value creation can be driven by identifiable execution rather than dependence on favorable market moves.

The firm is currently positioning Fund III as a flexible opportunistic vehicle focused on the Southeastern middle market, where durable long-term demand and selective capital markets are creating attractive entry points across housing, industrial, and retail, as well as certain structured and recapitalization opportunities. Loci believes the middle market is particularly attractive today because it is large enough to matter, but too fragmented and too execution-sensitive to be efficiently served by broad institutional capital alone.
