Welton Street Secures $14.4 Million of Growth Capital : Investment by FTVentures to Expand Tax-Efficient Real Estate Investment Product Development

DENVER (Business Wire EON) July 8, 2008 -- The growth equity investment will be used to expand the distribution of the Life Income Funds of America and Tenant-in-Common (TIC) securities, products which help investors deal with appreciated real estate.

Welton Street is the Managing Broker/Dealer and distributor of the Life Income Funds of America. Through the distribution of the Life Income Funds, Welton Street provides owners of appreciated real estate with a viable exit strategy, a charitable tax deduction, potential elimination of capital gains tax, income for life through investments in mutual funds selected for their disciplined investment process, and the ability to support multiple nonprofit organizations. The Life Income Funds, established by the Philanthropy Fund of America, are the nation's only Pooled Income Funds (under IRC Section 642(c)(5)) that focus on accepting real estate donations. Welton Street distributes through a selling group of FINRA member firms including wirehouse, regional, independent and bank broker/dealers.

In addition to the Life Income Funds, Welton Street specializes in 1031 like-kind exchanges and Tenant-In-Common (TIC) securities. TICs provide owners of highly appreciated real estate with a viable exit strategy, capital gains tax deferral, and the ability to own an undivided fractional interest in institutional-quality properties. TICs have become a preferred investment vehicle for real property investors desiring to defer capital gains via a 1031 exchange and own real property without many of the management responsibilities of owning the entire asset. Welton Street employs extensive due diligence capabilities to evaluate the products and wholesaling capabilities to aid in their distribution.

"Welton Street provides turnkey real estate solutions to the world's leading financial institutions, many of whom are FTVentures' strategic investors, to help their clients efficiently deal with appreciated real estate," said Ben Cukier, Partner with FTVentures and new Welton Street Board Member. "We are excited to join forces with Welton Street because of the company's success and momentum in productizing a solution that offers financial institutions with the ability to provide advice to clients on their real estate holdings, often the largest asset in their portfolio, as part of a more holistic approach to portfolio management."
