Forum Partners, a global real estate investment and asset management firm, and its portfolio company TSCG, announced the launch of TSCG Credit Opportunities I, LLC, a private credit fund seeking to raise up to $25 million from accredited investors, with the option to “increase the maximum offering amount to $50 million.”
Forum Partners is a private equity firm and investment manager focused on investing in various initiatives and sector-focused real estate companies.

The minimum capital contribution is $25,000 and interests will be offered to accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 506(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As explained in the announcement, members shall reportedly be entitled to an annual “9% cumulative, non-compounding preferred return, which will be paid in cash monthly in arrears, with an unlimited upside opportunity as a result of the fund’s unique waterfall structure.”

With four distinct business segments, TSCG offers an assortment of advisory services to tenants, landlords, developers and financial institutions, as well as investment “opportunities to investors throughout the U.S.”

TSCG’s portfolio spans 62 national markets with “60 million square feet leased and/or managed and more than 560 exclusive tenant assignments.”
TSCG and Forum Partners formed a partnership in 2022.
