This week, we have a special treat from Onward: our first bonus episode, dedicated entirely to discussing and answering important questions about Fundrise, sourced directly from Fundrise investors. Kendall Davis, head of investor relations and investor operations, joins Ben Miller, Fundrise CEO, to share some of the topics on our investor community’s minds. This episode’s questions include:
What steps has Fundrise taken to mitigate losses during an oncoming downturn? How did the platform perform prior to 2017, and how is the company positioned to give consistent returns when prices begin to slide? Does Fundrise have third-party audits and reviews performed on its balance sheets?
As always, discussing Fundrise is just a starting point, as each question about the company and its investing principles opens a door into much broader discussion about the economy, its current state, and some fundamental ideas about how finance works. Join Kendall and Ben to learn more about how Fundrise is prepared not only to mitigate losses in a downturn but to thrive; why leverage is the only way smart people go broke; how the focus of real estate investment strategies shifted from up-and-coming urban areas to the Sunbelt; and how, when getting started, Fundrise collaborated directly with the late Marty Dunn, former Deputy Director and Acting Director of the SEC, to find the best way to safely democratize access to real estate investing, within the framework of financial regulations.
