The Strategic Group Launches the Strategic Rivermont OZ Fund

ATLANTA, March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Strategic Group, a boutique investment firm that focuses primarily on investment strategies that also provide tax benefits as a source of returns, today announced the launch of the Strategic Rivermont OZ Fund. This fund brings a unique strategy of partnering with local municipalities to greatly transform downtown urban districts that are located in designated "opportunity zones." The Strategic Group has partnered with Rivermont Capital, a North Carolina firm who has a longstanding track record of success in public-private partnerships. Rivermont's principals were most notably instrumental in the decade long turn-around of downtown Durham NC, a once struggling district that now boasts strong economic fundamentals attracting large employers, downtown living, and a robust retail environment.

"The Strategic Rivermont OZ Fund seeks to revitalize underutilized downtown districts while leveraging our collective experience and relationships with public-private partnerships to mitigate downside risk and position the fund for success," said Co-Managing Partner of Strategic Group Ricky B. Novak. "Paramount to this fund is the protection of investors' capital, and we believe our strategy will do just that, while our robust pipeline of underwritten projects will ensure the efficient use of capital."

The Strategic Rivermont OZ Fund will tap into a pipeline of projects found in markets with a strong public tax bases that are close to primary and secondary MSA's. Many of the projects are through the due diligence process and have already received significant commitments from local governments. The CEO of Rivermont Capital, Michael Lemanski said, "The Opportunity Zone program was fortuitous for our Firm. The majority of the projects in our pipeline happened to be located in Opportunity Zones, so we are excited about being able to fund more of these shovel ready projects and be socially and economically impactful in these communities."

The launch of the Strategic Rivermont OZ Fund follows a series of strategic decisions the firm has made over the past few years of expanding the its footprint in tax-advantage investing. The Strategic Group recently launched an updated website that better reflects the growing lines of business. Steve Rothschild also joined the firm recently for his expertise in commercial real esate and to expand the tax credit platform and Mike Fields joined to serve as Chief Operating Officer.
