Fund-of-Funds Structure at AAA Storage

Redefining Fund of Funds for Private Investors

Fund of funds structures are common in institutional investing, offering diversification by allocating pooled capital across several funds. Most are managed by financial professionals for family offices or large organizations. AAA Storage has taken this model and tailored it for smaller, credible investment networks. In AAA’s approach, a fund manager pools investor capital in a single vehicle and invests it directly in AAA’s Growth Fund 2 as one Limited Partner.

What sets the AAA Storage model apart is its focus on access and alignment. Participation does not require financial credentials, but it does require investment experience and network credibility. Most fund managers are professionals who have invested before and are known and trusted by their networks—such as physicians or an optician, as referenced in the program. This model is expressly designed for those with a history of investment participation, not just anyone with acquaintances.

Clear Economics and Aligned Interests

AAA Storage ensures fund managers and their investors have equal footing with direct investors. Paul Bennett specifies, “there is no added cost or drag of any kind.” Investors receive the same terms, returns, and communication as any direct participant in Growth Fund 2. This structure allows capital to move efficiently from pooled networks to a proven investment platform, expanding the reach of high-quality self-storage opportunities.

The economics for fund managers are precise and outlined directly. For every $1 million raised, a fund manager earns about $126,000 in total compensation over the fund’s lifetime. The program also scales: groups of professionals raising larger pools, such as $4 to $5 million, can realize compensation between $500,000 and $600,000. Compensation is delivered through a blend of discounted management fee sharing and a defined portion of carried interest, with investors’ own terms uncompromised.

For most, this is a part-time effort. Fund managers are generally encouraged to invest their own capital in the fund they’re organizing, further aligning interests. Their primary responsibility is outreach—connecting with their network to explain the opportunity and facilitate investment, not regulatory filings or company set-up.

Comprehensive Administrative and Marketing Support

AAA Storage partners with TribeVest, who manages all back-end logistics: entity formation, regulatory filings, administrative tasks, annual tax documents, and investor portals. Investors and fund managers alike receive branded marketing materials, direct support, and access to custom webinars, allowing fund managers to focus entirely on relationship-building with their trusted contacts.

Onboarding occurs in cohorts, with a structured timeline of approximately eight weeks for most fund formation and capital raising. AAA Storage holds regular calls, provides technical training, and supports every step. The operational load is minimized for managers, with TribeVest overseeing compliance and reporting requirements.
