AAA Storage Launches Streamlined Fund of Funds Program

Practical Access to Private Self Storage Investment

Accessing high-quality private market opportunities often requires more than capital alone—it takes credibility within a community, operational know-how, and confidence in compliance. AAA Storage’s Fund of Funds (FoF) program was designed in response to this reality. For over thirty years, AAA Storage has delivered consistent results with a 19% IRR across 90 exits. Now, the FoF structure offers a streamlined path for individuals who can rally $1 million or more from their network to participate as limited partners, even if they are not institutional investors.

The program recognizes two distinct pathways for aspiring fund managers. First, those who have built trust as experienced limited partners—physicians, engineers, or retired professionals with proven investment backgrounds—can bring their established networks into opportunities traditionally reserved for direct institutional investment. Second, individuals with strong sales or marketing skills, even if they lack long-term investing experience, can leverage these abilities to aggregate and guide capital to AAA Storage’s proven platform.

Robust Mechanics and Sponsor-Backed Support

Central to the FoF program’s success is the integration with Tribevest. This partnership removes administrative and compliance obstacles once associated with collective investing. Tribevest handles entity formation, banking, offering documentation, and comprehensive back-office work—including distribution allocations and investor K-1s—allowing fund managers to focus on relationships and due diligence.

AAA Storage provides hands-on support throughout. Fund managers receive branded marketing materials customized for their unique networks, plus direct participation from the AAA Storage team in webinars, investor presentations, and educational calls. This sponsor-driven approach ensures aggregators have both the credibility of a 30-year track record and the resources to communicate effectively with their own investors. The process accommodates a range of engagement, from a single transaction to a growing portfolio, with participants ranging from optometrists and engineers to full-time physicians successfully running multiple deals each year.

Transparent Economics and Absolute Parity

The heart of the AAA Storage Fund of Funds model is transparent alignment. Fund of funds managers receive preferred terms and compensation by leveraging the volume of aggregated capital. Crucially, FoF investors are guaranteed “returns at absolute parity with direct investors”—with zero disadvantage—made possible by explicit discounts on management fees and carried interest. The spread between AAA’s institutional terms and those passed along to investors forms the fund manager’s compensation, aligning incentives without diminishing returns for participants.

This model is built for flexibility. Aggregators do not need to make a career change; success can be scaled based on opportunity and interest. For many, like the retired optometrist described in AAA’s podcast, what began as an extension of personal investing evolved into a robust business, connecting new investors to well-managed deals with full sponsor engagement, robust reporting, and seamless operational support.
