Investment Opportunities
Southeastern has a long-standing history of successfully raising equity from third-party investors for more than two decades. Initially, investments were made on a project-by-project basis. However, in 2008, the company transitioned to a strategy of raising equity through private investment funds managed by entities affiliated with the company. Presently, Southeastern serves as the sponsor of six successful funds, including Oak Fund I, Oak Opportunity Investments, Oak Fund III, Oak Fund IV, Oak Fund V, and Oak Fund VI. All of these funds have been fully subscribed and are currently closed to new investors, with the exception of Oak Fund VI, which is currently accepting subscriptions.
For inquiries or further information about our current fund, Oak Fund VI, please do not hesitate to contact Danny Hellams at 706-829-0567 / danny.hellams@southeastern.company, or Blake Smith at 706-854-6715 / blake.smith@southeastern.company. We would be pleased to provide you with detailed insights and discuss potential investment opportunities.
The funds raised through our platform are typically utilized to provide equity for new commercial real estate development projects and to acquire undervalued real estate. Each Fund follows a strategy aimed at providing investors with geographical and product type diversification. A typical Fund may invest in various property types, including retail, multi-family, hotels, and other commercial real estate, primarily located throughout the Southeastern United States.
