Hey Ben Fraser here, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Prinical at Aspen Funds.
In order to paint the full picture about why you should consider the Aspen Private Credit Fund, let me take you back to the beginning of our story…
Jim, one of our founders, was an award-winning developer in California when the 2008 financial crisis hit.
Nearly overnight, everything changed...
He lost almost everything he had built.
He saw investors take huge losses, too. It didn’t matter if it was stocks or real estate. At best, for the four years after 2008, the market was going nowhere.
At worst, it was going down, down, down.
After emerging from The Great Recession, Jim had a realization...
the lender always won!!!...
This shifted his approach to investing and created the groundwork for founding Aspen Funds, over 11+ years ago.
One of the founding principles of Aspen’s investment thesis is understanding the macro-economic trends. If you don’t keep an eye out on broader market trends, you could be left behind.
Today, our entire investing ethos at Aspen is built on Macro-Driven Alternative Investments, the big economic trends that are set to continue for a long time.
In Commercial Real Estate (CRE), the macro-trends that we're preparing for is the Maturity Cliff...
the record-setting amount of loans that are maturing in the next few years.
That’s why we’re introducing the Private Credit Fund: a fund designed to take advantage of this opportunity by investing or lending to operators that need capital.
Because the lending environment is hamstrung, we are in a STRONG position to negotiate HIGH RATES, secure better positions in the CAPITAL STACK, and in many situations, control provisions.
Aspen’s Private Credit Fund focuses on providing capital to cash-strapped real estate investors that can’t get additional money from the bank to execute their business plan.
These DEALS are fundamentally sound, but many investors didn’t pencil in such a massive increase in interest rates
This gives our investors a unique opportunity to be LIKE THE BANK, Aspen can lend money or invest at preferred terms to CRE properties and deliver equity-like returns to our investors with a secure position in the capital stack and, oftentimes, CONTROL PROVISIONS including forced sale & takeover rights.
The fund generates returns through current cash flow from its investments, potential upside from capital appreciation, and capital protection through priority positions over other equity.

I’m an accounting professor and real estate investor. In the past, I have not had much free time to oversee my portfolio. In early 2014, Bob Fraser contacted me to tell me about Aspen and its projected returns, and I decided to invest in Aspen.
I am very happy with the returns, and my only regret is that I wish I had invested more. I am impressed with the Aspen team — their professional and timely quarterly reports, investment strategies, and of course, ROI.
I am a Family Practitioner and have made a number of investments throughout the years, with mixed results. I have found Aspen to be very professional and to do what they say.
It’s wonderful to have a place to put my retirement savings that I know is well taken care of and that I don’t have to think a lot about. They are great people and do a terrific job.
I am a CPA and also the Executive Director of Northern Michigan Angel investment group. I have reviewed many investments, and it is a pleasure to see one like Aspen, with its outstanding business model and professional execution with timely updates on its progress.
My wife and I are in our mid 30’s. We work on our family farm but have often looked for more investment opportunities outside of farming and the stock market. We have tried many different investments in the past 10 yrs.
4 years ago we began investing with Bob Fraser, as of today the Aspen investments are the only ones we have done that have given us any returns. In fact, they exceeded the projections and our expectations!
The caliber of honesty, integrity, and talent of Bob and his team are hands down the best we have ever worked with
The communication has been great, so I know exactly where I’m at. The returns have been consistent.
One reason I like Aspen is integrity. You guys always do what you say you’re going to do. Or you do better.
I compared your note fund to some others and decided that your straight-forward approach was the one I was looking for. You haven’t missed any payments. It’s been as stated, no surprises.
You guys do what you say you’re going to do, and you pick up the phone when I need to talk to someone. The Income Fund has been consistent, on time and predictable.
Our deck offers an in-depth look at our proven private credit strategies.
It’s your first step towards understanding how we deliver consistent, high-yield returns, providing you with a clear blueprint for achieving financial growth and stability.
NO OFFER: This presentation (“Presentation”) is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor is it an offer of any sort of investment advice. Instead, it is intended to describe an investment vehicle sponsored by Aspen Private Credit Manager, LLC (“APCM”), Aspen Private Credit Fund, LLC (the “Offering”). An offer may only be made via a written offering document (“Memorandum”) provided by the Fund that offers Units of limited liability company interests in the Fund (“Units”). APCM has prepared this Presentation solely to enable you to determine whether you are interested in receiving additional information about the Fund. This Presentation is not intended to be relied upon as the basis for an investment decision, and is not complete.
LIMITATIONS: While many of the thoughts expressed in this Presentation are stated in a factual manner, the discussion reflects only APCM’s beliefs about the markets in which the Fund may invest when following its investment strategies as described in more detail in the Memorandum. Any descriptions of the investment strategy herein are in preliminary form, are incomplete and do not include all of the information needed to evaluate any potential investment in the Offering. An investment in the Offering involves substantial risks, some of which are discussed in the Memorandum, and which include risks associated with mortgages investments generally, risks associated with the Offering’s investments, conflicts of interest risks, regulatory risks, and tax and management risks. Only by carefully reviewing and considering those factors and the disclosures provided in the Memorandum (in addition to other independent investigations) could an investor or their representative determine whether such risks, as well as APCM’s experience and compensation, conflicts of interest, and other information contained therein are acceptable to the investor. Material in this Presentation, including any projected returns for the Offering, does not account for the impact of taxes on the Offering, its structure or its investors that may be imposed by the U.S. or any other jurisdiction. APCM and its affiliates have complete control over the Offering’s operations and the management of its assets. There are significant restrictions on the transferability of the Units, there is no market for Units and no person should invest with the expectation of monetizing Units other than as permitted in the Offering’s Operating Agreement. The Offering’s fees and expenses, which include compensation of APCM, may outweigh the Offering’s gains, if any.
CONFIDENTIALITY: APCM reserves all copyright and intellectual property rights to the content, information and data within this Presentation.

The recipient agrees to keep the contents of this Presentation confidential and use it solely to evaluate whether further investigation of the Offering is warranted.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: Some of the material contained in this Presentation is not based on historical facts and is deemed to be “forward-looking.” Forward-looking statements reflect APCM’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ significantly from projections herein. Although APCM believes that the expectations reflected in all forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Neither the Offering, APCM, nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any forward-looking statements. APCM is under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform them to actual results or to changes in its expectations.
PROJECTIONS: While projections about the Offering’s performance are based on APCM’s experience and good faith judgments, the recipient should understand that projections are based on numerous assumptions about how the Offering may perform, including that applicable tax regimes do not change, that existing asset performance trends will continue to track business plans, that historical behavior of APCM loan types will not change fundamentally, that perception of market opportunities for acquisition and disposition will hold true, and that the competitive landscape within which each asset operates will not change fundamentally. Any number of factors could contribute to results that are materially different.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION: Information about APCM’s prior investment vehicles it has sponsored (the “Vehicles”) contained herein has not been audited or reviewed by any third party. The recipient should understand that the Vehicles’ performance was achieved in different economic cycles, APCM’s participation and / or management responsibility varied, and the Vehicles utilized investment strategies and capital sources that may differ considerably from that which the Offering will use. Additionally, the Offering’s terms may differ materially from the Vehicles’ governing documents. Therefore, the recipient should not assume that the Offering would be able to replicate any Vehicle’s performance, even though there may be overlaps in the Offering’s strategies and the strategies that may have been utilized by any of the Vehicles. With respect to performance presented in the Presentation, the recipient should consider the following: all investments carry risk and the Offering’s strategies may experience losses.
