21% Net: The Return Structure
One vehicle. One horizon.
One underwriting standard.
ARCSA Capital runs one fund vehicle: the Parallel Fund, domiciled in the Cayman Islands, with a 21% target annual return stated net of fund fees and a commitment of two to eight years. The minimum subscription is USD 500,000. Distributions are made annually under the terms of the limited partnership agreement. What follows sets out how that number is built, what has to hold for it to be reached, and what the figure does and does not mean.
The figure is stated after fund fees, so it is the closest thing on this page to what an investor would actually see. The longer commitment lets capital compound through several full acquisition-to-exit cycles rather than a single one, and gives the manager room to wait out a bad quarter instead of selling into it.
All figures are underwriting targets, not assurances, and not a commitment to distribute. The figure shown is net of fund fees.

How the Target Is Built
Three levers, in the order they happen. None of them assumes the market goes up.
The acquisition discount
We buy below the property’s market value, in a market where we source directly and can close quickly. That gap is the first and most reliable layer of return, and it is fixed on the day we buy — it does not have to be earned later.
The improvement we control
Renovation and repositioning happen on our own schedule and budget, with our own contractors. This is the part of the return we manufacture rather than wait for, and it is where discipline on cost and timeline decides whether the underwriting holds.
The exit we planned before buying
Every acquisition is underwritten to a specific buyer and a specific exit price before we commit. A 90–180 day target hold keeps the asset moving and the capital rotating, which is what turns a per-deal margin into an annual figure.

What Has to Be True — and What Would Break It
The discount has to be real at purchase
If we pay market price, the first layer of return disappears and everything depends on the exit. That is why deals are rejected far more often than they are closed.
The improvement has to land on budget and on time
Cost overruns and permitting delays do not just reduce the margin; they extend the hold, which lowers the annualised figure even when the deal is profitable in absolute terms.
The exit market has to absorb the asset
A slower resale market or a higher cost of financing for the buyer stretches the timeline. We stress-test every acquisition against a lower exit price and a longer hold before committing.
And when it does not work
Some deals return less than underwritten. That is the nature of equity in real assets, and it is why these are targets rather than promises, why they are not fixed income, and why nothing here is a commitment to distribute.
Who Can Invest
This offering is available only to accredited investors, with a minimum subscription of USD 500,000 — and accreditation has to be verified, not simply claimed.
Accredited investor status
Interests are offered only to investors who meet the definition of an accredited investor under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. That definition covers, among others, individuals meeting income or net-worth thresholds and certain entities. The full definition is set out in the offering documents.
Verification, not self-certification
Because the offering is conducted under Rule 506(c), we are required to take reasonable steps to verify that every investor is accredited before any subscription is accepted. In practice that means documentation or a written confirmation from your accountant, attorney or registered adviser.
The documents govern, not this page
Everything on this page is a summary. The Private Placement Memorandum, the limited partnership agreement and the subscription documents are what govern the investment, and where any conflict is resolved in their favour.
Before you commit
Read the risk factors in full and discuss the investment with your own legal, tax and financial advisers. ARCSA Capital does not provide investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing on this page should be treated as a recommendation.

Fee schedule, distribution waterfall, subscription minimums, transfer and redemption terms and the complete risk factors are set out in the Private Placement Memorandum, available to investors whose accredited status has been verified.

This page is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Any offer is made solely through the Private Placement Memorandum to investors whose accredited status has been verified under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Target returns are objectives based on the fund’s underwriting assumptions and may not be achieved. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal.
Key Fund Terms
Summarised from the offering documents. These terms, not this page, govern any investment. The private placement memorandum and the limited partnership agreement control in the event of any inconsistency.
Two vehicles, and your residence decides which one
The strategy is carried out through two parallel vehicles that invest side by side, pro rata and on substantially the same terms. ARCSA Real Estate Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership, is for United States investors only. ARCSA Real Estate Parallel Fund LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, is for non-United States investors only. They are not two products with different returns; they are one programme with two entry points, and an investor is admitted to one or the other according to residence, never to both.
Minimum commitment
USD 500,000. The general partner may accept a lesser amount at its sole discretion. Any other figure published elsewhere does not reflect the current offering.
The 21% is both the objective and the ceiling
Distributions follow a defined order. Proceeds are split 80% to the investor and 20% to the general partner until the investor has received a cumulative annual return of 21% on capital contributed. Beyond that point, 100% goes to the general partner as carried interest.
Two things follow, and both are worth stating plainly. The general partner does not keep its share of the upside until the investor has reached 21%, and if the fund terminates short of that figure the general partner must return carried interest already received, up to the shortfall. But the investor does not participate above 21% either. It is a target, not a floor, and it is also a cap. It is not a guarantee, not fixed income and not a commitment to distribute.
Term and liquidity
The fund terminates on the seventh anniversary of the initial closing, extendable by one year at the general partner’s discretion. Capital is committed for that term. There is no right of withdrawal and no general redemption right. A limited partner may request redemption in a thirty-day window opening on the second anniversary of the final closing, and again on the fourth; the general partner may grant or refuse without giving reasons, and no more than 20% of aggregate commitments is redeemed in any twelve-month period. Distributions are anticipated at least annually, but the fund also reinvests sale proceeds, so a distribution in any given year is not assured.
Fees
A 2% annual management fee, charged on the greater of total capital commitments or total capital contributions and payable quarterly in advance. 20% carried interest up to the 21% hurdle, as described above. In addition, the management company may charge and retain transaction fees (acquisition, monitoring, financing, break-up, deal sourcing and exit) and property service fees (construction management, development, renovation, leasing, sales, marketing and related services). Those fees are retained in full and do not offset the management fee or the carried interest.
Conflicts of interest
Entities within the group may act at the same time as general partner, investment manager, general contractor and service provider on the same asset, and may be paid in more than one of those capacities. That creates conflicts in the allocation of opportunities between vehicles, in the pricing of affiliated services, and in the timing of dispositions and valuations. The offering documents describe these conflicts and the procedures applied to them, and prospective investors should read that section in full.
How the offering is made
Interests are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or with any state securities authority. They are offered in reliance on exemptions under Regulation D and, outside the United States, Regulation S. Because the offering relies on Rule 506(c), accredited investor status must be verified before any subscription is accepted — through a written confirmation from your own accountant, attorney, investment adviser or broker-dealer, an independent verification provider, or review of the documentation the rule contemplates. Self-certification is not sufficient and is not accepted. No federal or state authority has approved or passed upon the merits of these securities; any representation to the contrary is unlawful.
Investing in private real estate involves substantial risk, including the loss of all invested capital. Interests are illiquid and no secondary market exists or is expected to develop. See the Website Disclaimer & Important Investor Notice.
Who Manages the Fund
The entities and the people named in the offering documents.
General Partner
ARCSA Capital GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company registered in the Cayman Islands as a foreign company. It controls and manages the fund and makes all investment decisions.
Management Company
ARCSA Capital Management LLC, a Florida limited liability company at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Suite 1950, Miami. It provides advisory and management services and monitors the portfolio. Neither it nor the general partner is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act.
Service providers
Fund administration and net asset value calculation are performed by third-party administrators, and an external auditor is appointed for the offshore vehicle. They are identified in the offering documents. Naming a provider describes an operational relationship; it is not an endorsement or guarantee of any investment.
Carlos Calderón — Chief Executive Officer and Founder
Mr. Calderón is the CEO and founder of ARCSA Capital and the managing member of the fund’s general partner. He created the ARCSA group of companies twenty-seven years ago with ARCSA Mexico, a credit reporting business serving Latin American and international companies, and went on to found BLOC Mexico and BLOC USA and to launch CrediBusiness, a platform for evaluating B2B credit lines and commercial risk. His background is in credit, data and real estate investment.
He is designated as the fund’s key person, and prospective investors should understand what that means in practice: under the partnership agreement he devotes such time to the operation of the fund as he deems reasonably necessary, and the loss or reduction of his involvement, or that of other senior personnel, could adversely affect the fund’s ability to meet its objectives.
Erick Calderón — Director of Investment Strategy and Research
Mr. Calderón leads investment research, market analysis and investor communication for ARCSA Capital. He is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer and does not manage client assets or provide personalised investment advice. Investment decisions for the fund are made by the general partner.
Limited partners have no right or power to take part in the management of the fund. The descriptions above summarise the offering documents, which control.
