Stabilis Capital Management, has closed its Fund V with USD525 million in commitments from investors. The closing of Fund V takes the firm’s raised funds to a total of USD1.7 billion since its founding in 2010.
Stabilis focuses on identifying and creatively structuring new investment opportunities with high risk adjusted returns while mitigating downside risk.
“I am pleased with Stabilis’ success and delighted by our continued ability to serve our investors. We look forward to continuing to use our specialised focus to invest in high return opportunities that are primarily secured by real estate and where we believe a compelling loan-to-value acquisition point helps protect against downside risk,” says Stabilis co-founder and Managing Principal Salman Khan. “Despite the nearly decade long economic recovery in the US, Stabilis continues to find opportunities to purchase or originate high return opportunity loans secured by strong real estate assets where borrowers or sellers need access to liquidity quickly, allowing us to invest in attractive opportunities regardless of macroeconomic conditions.”
Identifying, analysing and structuring these opportunities are key to Stabilis’ success and have enabled the firm to create an attractive niche investment platform in the market. Stabilis plans to build on its record of success established with its previous Funds.
“Salman has built a first-class organisation with a talented team and a strong pipeline of transaction flow and investment opportunities that is commensurate with the growth of the Funds. I believe that this, coupled with the strong returns that Stabilis has produced to date, is reflected in the increasingly positive response to the last several capital raises,” says Tim Barakett, Chairman of TRB Advisors LP (TRB). “All of these factors are hallmarks of Stabilis’ accomplishments to date and indicators of what we see for the future of Stabilis.”
“Stabilis continues to provide TRB and all of its investors with consistent, attractive and stable returns,” says Tim Barakett. “TRB has witnessed firsthand the growth of Stabilis and I am proud of what Salman has built. As I like to say, ‘performance is the product’ and Salman continues to deliver a great product. TRB’s continued confidence in Stabilis’ investment strategy is evidenced by it continuing to be one of the largest investors in Stabilis Fund V.”
