We get it because we've been there.
Gratūs was built from the ground up to help advisors integrate alternative investments into their process. While founding and scaling a fast-growing advisory firm, our partner team experienced success in the world of alternative investments.
Guide your clients to real estate opportunities
With Gratūs, you’ll have the ability to help your clients invest in ways that they never could alone. Gratūs has carefully vetted multi-family real estate properties that can have a positive impact on their local communities and your client’s portfolio.
1. Own tangible assets you can see, touch, and feel.
There is a powerful sense of ownership and comfort associated with investing in a real asset. A private company you believe in or a building that you can drive by can carry more weight than impersonal, more traditional investment options.
2. Generate income
With interest rates and dividends near historic lows, alternative investments offer meaningful opportunities to generate yield. Few other investments can offer both cash flow during ownership and the potential for double-digit returns.
3. Enhance returns
Alternative assets, by their very nature, tend to be less efficiently priced than traditional marketable securities, providing an opportunity to exploit market inefficiencies through active management. – Yale, 2021
4. Access depreciation and other tax reduction strategies
The fund designates you as a direct owner. That means you generally receive flow-through status which often provides excess depreciation and other tax write-offs that can help lower your overall tax burden.
5. Lower correlation to public markets
Investments in privately owned real estate and businesses have consistent valuations based on their profitability, not the daily whims of Wall Street or the 24/7 news cycle.

Why Real Estate?
Income: Investment grade real estate often generates between 4-6% annual returns in the form of regular dividend payments.
Appreciation: As leveraged investments, appreciation can add up quickly. Over time this can be a powerful source of total investment return.
Debt Pay Down: As mortgage payments are made, your equity increases over time—further adding to your return.
