Both companies boast more than 40 years of experience in tax-advantaged real estate.
“Matt’s expertise in real estate tax strategies and his long track record of supporting advisers make him a tremendous addition to our team,” said Brandon Hughes and Brian Leaf, co-founders and managing partners of BackStory. “He embodies the technical knowledge, integrity, and adviser-centric approach that define BackStory Capital.”
Ferguson holds a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in finance from the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. Prior to entering the financial services industry, he served two tours of duty in Iraq as a U.S. Army infantryman.
“I’m excited to join BackStory Capital at a time when demand for high-quality, tax-advantaged real estate products continues to grow,” Ferguson said. “BackStory’s platform, its sponsor relationships, and its adviser-focused approach make it an exceptional place to support financial professionals and their clients.”
BackStory Capital partners with real estate sponsors and provides financial advisers access to diversified tax-efficient investment solutions. The firm said that with Ferguson’s addition this year, it continues to strengthen its position as a premier distribution partner in the alternative investment landscape.
