National commenced operations on January 1, 2010. National was the result of a spin-out of an internal division of the NEBF. Substantially all personnel, including all senior investment management personnel, involved in real estate investments, transitioned from to National from NEBF Real Estate, where they had worked together from 2000 through 2010.
National’s total assets under management reflected above represent the aggregate Gross Asset Values and Net Asset Values, respectively, of all client accounts under National’s management, in each case calculated as set forth below.
- Property-Level Gross Asset Value (“GAV”) is based on property-level unleveraged values for real estate investments. The reported GAV is based on the “as is” value (including properties in development) per the most recent property appraisal and includes working capital and other adjustments such as lender and capital reserves and construction costs spent. However, the GAV for debt (senior and subordinate loans) investments is reported as the fair value of the loan, as opposed to the fair value of the underlying collateral (property). The GAV (Pro Rata) at Market is the ownership % interest of the Property-Level GAV.
  - Fund’s Share Property-Level GAV: The Fund’s share of GAV is reported at the Fund’s economic interest in the investment, which takes into consideration any applicable preferred returns and/or promoted interests, per the partnership operating agreements (if not wholly owned).
  - Fund-level GAV: Fund-Level GAV represents the Fund’s economic interest in real estate investments, cash, cash equivalents, and other Fund assets as defined by National. More information can be provided upon request.
- Net Asset Value (“NAV”): Net assets under management are calculated using the Fund’s Share Property-Level NAV of investments, plus cash and other assets and liabilities. The calculation is explained further below:
  - Property-Level NAV for Equity Investments: For equity investments, the Property- Level NAV equals the Property-Level GAV less marked-to-market debt.
  - Property-Level NAV for Debt Investments: The NAV for mezzanine and debt (senior and subordinate loans) investments is reported as the fair value of the loan.
  - Fund’s Share Property-Level NAV: The Fund’s share of NAV is reported at the Fund’s economic interest in the investment, which takes into. consideration any applicable preferred returns and/or promoted interests, per the partnership operating agreements (if not wholly owned).
