Unlike other funds which can generate billions of dollars, Equity deliberately raises a small amount in each fund. According to the company's CFO, this allows company execs to take the necessary time to evaluate, select and directly manage the companies they work with.

"The nature of our business is slow in a lot of ways," Fiegen tells GlobeSt.com. "There are no shortcuts; the evaluation can take years. Fund I illuminated that this model does work, and Fund II insures we have proper capitalization."

Fiegen says Equity is anticipating a series of funds in the future, provided there is enough work to sustain the company. Success, he says, comes with locating geographic areas with signs of stability and investment-grade real estate within reach. By identifying trends early on, he continues, Equity is poised for higher returns.

"What we saw in Mexico is repeating itself on a macro-economic level," Fiegen says. "By taking that model, we can build caravan parks in the UK, affordable housing in China, or corporate real estate in Brazil. These themes are going to repeat themselves. It has to be scalable and ultimately liquid. Our involvement can impact those two important variables, and the access to capital can enable it."
