This is an important milestone for the fund, which has seen rapid growth and high dividends for investors over the past five years under the leadership of president and CEO William Procida . When asked to explain the fund’s remarkable returns, Procida said the following: “We do not chase trends- we focus on developers of low-risk projects in sub-markets like Nyack, NY or Beacon NJ. Many lenders do not understand that the price basis and stability in those mar- kets reduces risk.” The fund’s hefty 14% (average) return to investors is evidence that the 100 Mile Fund not only under- stands market dynamics, but is positioned to capitalize on them. The 100 Mile Fund is a mid- dle-market real estate invest- ment vehicle focused on de- velopment and bridge loans. The fund exclusively loans to borrowers and projects within 100 miles of the fund’s offices next to the George Washington Bridge- hence the name “100 Mile Fund.” The fund’s typi- cal borrower refinances with conventional long term debt an average of 14 months after re- ceiving a loan fromProcida. The fast pace and quick turnover of the fund’s business has consis- tently rewarded investors. “We like to support develop- ers that have the insight and skill to undertake projects that help complete a neighborhood,” said Procida. “When we find a worthy site that has fallen into disrepair, and transform it to reach its full potential, we not only improve the look, increase safety, and raise the financial value for those who live and work there, we also create a rate-able property for the municipality where there was once just an eyesore.” n
