What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)?

The most attractive feature of DSTs for most investors is the fact that they qualify for preferential tax treatment under §IRC 1031 — commonly known as a “1031 exchange.” Pursuant to §IRC 1031, any investor who sells investment property and reinvests the proceeds from that sale in a DST in a timely manner can defer any capital gains taxes related to the proceeds from the disposed property.

As a fractional ownership model, DSTs offer investors proportional interest in the DST property (or properties) based on their percentage of ownership of the trust in which the property is held. DST investors have the potential to receive monthly distributions (passive income) from the investment as well as proceeds from any eventual sale of the property when the DST runs its course. * Most DSTs have a targeted holding time of around 7-10 years before the property is put on the market. Importantly, fractional ownership in a DST is treated by the IRS the same way as full ownership of an investment property, allowing for the capital gains tax deferral associated with a 1031 exchange (as mentioned above), along with other significant tax incentives.

Passive Management
DSTs are a 100% passive vehicle from the perspective of the investor. All management of the property is handled by the sponsor, including day-to-day decisions and the eventual sale of the property.
This makes DSTs an especially attractive investment for seniors interested in exchanging investment property they are currently managing themselves for a passive, potentially income-generating investment.

Understanding Alternative Investments
Alternative investments refer to asset classes outside traditional stocks, bonds, and cash. These can include real estate (such as DSTs), private equity, hedge funds, commodities, infrastructure, Opportunity Zones and more. Alternative investments are valued for their potential to enhance portfolio diversification, provide inflation protection, and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Real Estate Risk Disclosure: There is no guarantee that any strategy will be successful or achieve investment objectives. Potential for property value loss – All real estate investments have the potential to lose value during the life of the investments. Change of tax status – The income stream and depreciation schedule for any investment property may affect the property owner’s income bracket and/or tax status. An unfavorable tax ruling may cancel deferral of capital gains and result in immediate tax liabilities. Potential for foreclosure – All financed real estate investments have potential for foreclosure. Illiquidity –These assets are commonly offered through private placement offerings and are illiquid securities. There is no secondary market for these investments. Reduction or Elimination of Monthly Cash Flow Distributions – Like any investment in real estate, if a property unexpectedly loses tenants or sustains substantial damage, there is potential for suspension of cash flow distributions. Impact of fees/expenses – Costs associated with the transaction may impact investor’s returns and may outweigh the tax benefits. Stated tax benefits – Any stated tax benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to changes in the tax code. Speak to your tax professional prior to investing.

Opportunity Zone Disclosures: Investing in opportunity zones is speculative. Opportunity zones are newly formed entities with no operating history. There is no assurance of investment return, property appreciation, or profits. The ability to resell the fund’s underlying investment properties or businesses is not guaranteed. Investing in opportunity zone funds may involve a higher level of risk than investing in other established real estate offerings. Long-term investment. Opportunity zone funds have illiquid underlying investments that may not be easy to sell and the return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment will generally occur only upon the partial or complete disposition or refinancing of such investments. Limited secondary market for redemption. Although secondary markets may provide a liquidity option in limited circumstances, the amount you will receive typically is discounted to current valuations. Difficult valuation assessment. The portfolio holdings in opportunity zone funds may be difficult to value because financial markets or exchanges do not usually quote or trade the holdings. As such, market prices for most of a fund’s holdings will not be readily available. Capital call default consequences. Meeting capital calls to provide managers with the pledged capital is a contractual obligation of each investor. Failure to meet this requirement in a timely manner could elicit significant adverse consequences, including, without limitation, the forfeiture of your interest in the fund. Leverage. Opportunity zone funds may use leverage in connection with certain investments or participate in investments with highly leveraged capital structures. Leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and may increase the exposure of such investments to factors such as rising interest rates, downturns in the economy or deterioration in the condition of the assets underlying such investments. Unregistered investment. As with other unregistered investments, the regulatory protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not available with unregistered securities. Regulation. It is possible, due to tax, regulatory, or investment decisions, that a fund, or its investors, are unable realize any tax benefits. You should evaluate the merits of the underlying investment and not solely invest in an opportunity zone fund for any potential tax advantage.
