Hospitality Income Units (HIUs)

Transforming hotel cashflows into tradable, institutional-grade securities

The Market Gap We're Solving

The hospitality industry generates trillions in cash but remains structurally illiquid between refinancing events. Current investors face a stark choice: accept multi-year lockups in private equity or settle for public REITs with limited asset-level transparency.

HIUs bridge this gap by creating securitized, investor-grade claims on hotel cashflows with standardized risk metrics and optional liquidity. We're making hotel income comparable and tradable at institutional scale.

Two-Phase Execution Strategy

Phase I: Singapore VCC

Launch HIU sub-funds with engineered private liquidity through tenders and LP-led secondaries. Institutional governance with trustee-controlled waterfalls.

Phase II: Public Exchange

Graduate to broker-dealer sponsored ATS and public exchange marketplace. Expand investor access and capture market-making economics.

How HIUs Work

HIUs are senior, pass-through revenue interests issued by SPVs holding perfected interests in hospitality cashflows. Two primary variants serve different investor needs:

Asset HIUs

First-priority interests in 30-60% of property-level NOI after taxes and essential OpEx. Focused on stabilized, branded select-service properties.

Operator Performance Notes

Pass-through interests in management and franchise fees with step-down protections tied to performance thresholds.

Quantamental Framework

Our proprietary metrics are embedded in pricing, protections, and disclosures, creating transparent risk-adjusted returns:

AHA (Adjusted Hospitality Alpha)

Deal IRR minus hospitality benchmark minus calibrated Illiquidity Premium based on public REIT spreads.

BAS (Bay Adjusted Sharpe)

Efficiency measure: AHA divided by modeled cashflow volatility adjusted for brand and market dispersion.

LSD (Liquidity Stress Delta)

Composite capturing exit timing risk, CapEx shocks, and refinancing constraints. Dictates reserve multipliers.

BMRI (Bay Macro Risk Index)

Blends sovereign spreads, FX volatility, tourism flows, and political risk. Triggers mandatory hedging above thresholds.

Phase I: Singapore VCC Platform

Financial Projections & Economics

Bay Street earns management fees (1.00-1.50% of NAV), performance fees (10-15% over 7-8% hurdle), and structuring fees (0.50-0.75% of RPN PV). Operating leverage drives margin expansion as AUM scales.
