Time Equities Debuts Private Real Estate Fund Seeking $100M Capital Raise

Time Equities Inc., or TEI, a firm with nearly 60 years of real estate investment experience, has launched a new private investment vehicle, the TEI Diversified Income & Opportunity Fund VII. The fund offers accredited investors access to a portfolio of real estate assets across the U.S. and select international markets.
The fund seeks to raise up to $100 million in total equity commitments, with a minimum investment set at $25,000. The fund is structured to deliver consistent income and long-term growth.
The primary target return is a minimum 6% annual current income rate, according to TEI, paid to investors quarterly. Beyond this, the fund seeks to provide additional capital appreciation upside through excess cash flow from operations, strategic refinancings, and eventual asset sales over the fund’s lifecycle.
The TEI Fund VII strategy reflects the company’s historical approach of balancing tax-efficient current income with capital appreciation, while remaining adaptable to market shifts.
The fund’s investment strategy will focus on a blend of asset types and risk profiles. It aims to target stable, cash-flowing assets, particularly properties that provide immediate and steady income. It also is pursuing opportunistic and value-added investments, including projects requiring lease-up or redevelopment, the acquisition of discounted debt, and various joint venture structures.
This combination is intended to create a portfolio that offers both reliable income streams and significant total return potential, leveraging market dislocations for value.
The fund will be managed by a newly established entity, Time Equities Management VII. Further, TEI has emphasized a strong alignment of interest with investors, noting that its principals intend to invest personally alongside Fund VII investors. TEI Securities, a FINRA member affiliate, will serve as the managing broker-dealer for the fund.
