Strategy

Firstbridge Capital’s Enhanced Core Fund acquires core real estate properties in Japan, and then enhances their operating income by changing them to a more profitable use.

For example, we have achieved >3x revenue and >2x operating income on new residential properties which we have converted to hotels.

A chart titled "Value Created by Strategy" shows three bar graphs comparing Purchase Cap Rate as Residential, Operating Income Increase from Conversion, and Effective Cap Rate after Conversion. The bar for Purchase Cap Rate is 3.5%, the Operating Income Increase from Conversion is 3.5%, and the Effective Cap Rate after Conversion is over 70%. An arrow points upward from the second to the third bar with a label indicating a 2x+ target yield enhancement.
