3. About Southwest Fund (the “Fund”)
The Fund partnership invests in mainly high credit tenanted income-producing commercial
properties where the current owner (not the property) is in distress. Investments consist of retail,
office, land, and industrial properties located in major metropolitan cities of the United States.
The objective of the partnership is to maximize the total return on investors’ capital by seeking
regular income distributions through operational cash flow, development, leasing, management
fees and advisory fees.
The Fund is debt-event driven and achieves these objectives mainly through acquiring performing
properties where present ownership is overextended and face liquidity issues as a result of
unattainable debt financing or refinancing requirements.
The Fund’s management team of local experts has a strong 25+ years track record in delivering
high returns on real estate investments.
The Fund’s investor pool is limited to accredited investors (high-net-worth and institutional
investors) who benefit from attractive, risk adjusted returns with low volatility and a low correlation
to other traditional asset classes by adding real estate to a mix of other equities and fixed-income
investments.
The Fund’s management team is committed to a completely transparent business model, and
offer investor collaboration should it be desired.

Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2008 Report, Urban Land Institute
“Depending on what happens with the U.S. economy as a whole, it
could be painful for some, but overall, a correction could be good for
the industry keeping supply and demand in balance, curbing
overdevelopment and flushing out low-quality investors.”
- Tim Conlon, Partner PricewaterhouseCoopers
“Financial shocks or disruptions are a fact of life, and our [U.S.] markets seem
to experience them every 6 – 8 years.”
