Unlocking Liquidity and Transparency for Hospitality Income
Hospitality generates recurring, contractually anchored income streams from asset-level net operating income (NOI) to operator management and franchise fees. Yet these income flows remain structurally illiquid, locked inside private equity fund vintages or REIT share classes that blur asset-level visibility.
Investors must choose between illiquid private equity or public REIT exposure, neither providing direct, standardized, and tradable access to the underlying income. The HIU Secondary Exchange transforms this landscape.
Private hotel deals lock capital for extended periods
Multi-trillion dollar hospitality industry
Private hotel deals lock capital for 5–10 years, with exits dependent on refinancing or M&A events. Investors lack flexibility and liquidity options.
Current secondary transactions rely on bespoke negotiations and off-market brokers, with no real-time price discovery or transparent benchmarks.
Public REITs aggregate hospitality exposure but leave investors with market beta and no look-through to asset-level NOI performance.
Institutional investors demand liquid, transparent, benchmarked access to hospitality cashflows. The HIU Exchange delivers tradable units, standardized disclosures, and benchmark-linked pricing tied to Bay Street's quantamental framework.
