At Cityfunds, we are thrilled to announce that we’ve secured a significant $25 million senior credit facility from Kawa Capital Management, a prominent name in the world of asset management. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in our journey, allowing us to strengthen our position and expand the range of opportunities available to our investors.

They are known for their strategic and creative investment approach, aiming to deliver competitive risk-adjusted returns to their clients.

What Does This Mean for Cityfunds?

With the backing of Kawa, Cityfunds is poised to scale its portfolio and accelerate growth in key U.S. cities.This will help Cityfunds reach more borrowers and provide more access to capital making this a win for homeowners and investors. Institutional backing of this scale not only signals confidence in Cityfunds' business model and long-term strategy but also allows us to:

• Enhance Fund Offerings: Expanded financial support means we can further diversify our property portfolio, delivering more dynamic and high-potential real estate investment opportunities.
• Expand Access to New Markets: With additional capital, we are able to target high-growth markets, creating even greater value for our investors.

Kawa's $25 million facility will provide Nada with the financial flexibility needed to meet the demands of its growing HEA origination pipeline while maintaining the operational rigor expected in institutional markets. The infusion of capital will allow Nada to deploy HEA contracts at scale, reinforcing the Cityfunds platform with the same level of diligence, security, and financial discipline typically seen in large-scale institutional investment products.

What This Means for You as an Investor

For current and potential investors, this institutional backing opens the door to exciting new opportunities. Some of our funds will temporarily transition to Reg D offerings, making them accessible only to accredited investors. This allows us to offer exclusive investment opportunities that can accelerate portfolio growth for those meeting accreditation requirements.
