Building upon 35 years experience initially at major investment banks and investment companies and then with newer entrepreneurial businesses including, most recently, being a Founding Principal and the Head of Commercial Real Estate at multi-billion dollar alternative investment manager Seer Capital, I designed Allagash to offer institutional and HNW investors opportunities that can provide both high outright returns and low risk of loss by capitalizing upon the expanding shortage of housing that is affordable to working-class households in the US. Additionally, each of Allagash's investments seeks to make a powerful positive impact on the community being invested into.Before Allagash, I was a Founding Principal, Head of Commercial Real Estate, and Co-Head of Residential Real Estate at Seer Capital Management. At Seer, I developed, invested into, provided debt funding for, and traded securitizations of the full range of real estate assets including all commercial real estate sectors, single family rental properties, and affordable housing. I also sat on the Management Committee having responsibility for oversight of all aspects of Seer's business. Before Seer, I built and ran investment platforms and trading books at a number of large alternative investment companies. Most notably, in 2006-2007, I was an early identifier of the Great Recession and established short positions with real estate-backed derivative products to capitalize on the market sell-off. Before joining the buy side, I traded a wide range of products as a senior sell-side trader at Salomon Brothers, Goldman Sachs, and Man Group.Feel free to call me at (646) 946-0482 or email me at tbarkan@allagashpartners.com to set up an introductory call.
