Quarter Launch Fund Commences a $147.25 Million Reg D Capital Raise Using the tZERO Securities Platform

The fund is managed by Quarter, a home financing platform that provides funding from platform participants directly to qualified homebuyers at a lower cost than a mortgage, enabling millions of buyers to afford homes

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2024 / tZERO Group Inc., a leader in technology solutions for capital markets, is pleased to announce today the launch of the Quarter Launch Fund capital raise using the tZERO Securities platform.

Quarter is a home financing platform that provides funding from platform participants directly to qualified homebuyers at a lower cost than a mortgage - enabling many buyers to afford homes for the first time. Quarter is designed to enable home ownership for those who may not be able to access traditional mortgage financing given the high cost of these loans, including millions of our Gen Z and Millennial first-time buyers who have been locked out of a market that has been hitting historical unaffordability peaks in certain areas over the recent years. The Quarter Launch Fund expects to use the capital it raises to make investments in secured loans for the properties on the Quarter platform, providing it with interest income and a share of any upside in the real estate price when it is sold in the future. All investors in the Quarter Launch Fund will share in the net cash flow and appreciation returns provided by the Quarter Launch Fund's investments.

The leadership team of Quarter unites a diverse set of real estate, finance, and technology leaders and innovators who are committed to providing a new, superior model for homeownership. Early-stage investments into innovative technology-driven companies have historically been elusive and have a high barrier-to-entry, and the Quarter Launch Fund LLC capital raise using a transparent and self-directed platform operated by tZERO Securities, an SEC and FINRA regulated broker-dealer owned by tZERO Group, is a key step towards eliminating that high barrier-to-entry.

"We are delighted to launch Quarter Launch Fund's capital raise that will utilize the services provided by tZERO Securities, our broker-dealer subsidiary, and our technology services," states tZERO Group's CEO, David Goone. "The capital raise represents another step forward in the democratization of access to asset classes typically reserved to institutions and high net worth investors, with a product that also aims to tackle the major accessibility crisis with home ownership."

Shannon Diesch, CEO of Quarter, comments, "We at Quarter are thrilled to announce our capital raise in partnership with tZERO Securities. Our mission is to profoundly change people's lives by making homeownership more affordable and accessible, while simultaneously creating new opportunities for investors in owner-occupied residential real estate. The Quarter Launch Fund will enable us to make substantial progress in achieving this mission."

About Quarter
Quarter is a platform that fractionalizes homes through a unique, patented model based on an equity investment instead of traditional mortgage debt, enabling people and entities to invest passively and efficiently in a new asset class of owner-occupied residential real estate. This disintermediated model of homeownership enables homeowners to significantly reduce closing costs and monthly payments, making home ownership accessible and affordable for millions who are currently shut out of the market.

About the Quarter Launch Fund
Unlike the Quarter platform, the Quarter Launch Fund is a closed-end fund open only to accredited investors. Once the $147.25M has been raised, the Quarter Launch Fund will run for a term of five years. Investors in the Quarter Launch Fund own membership interests in the Quarter Launch Fund and will receive the monthly cash flow generated from the securities issued by 509 Holdings LLC ("Tokens") through the Quarter Launch Fund's ownership of Tokens. Investors in the Quarter Launch Fund do not own any interest in Quarter Inc. and are making no direct investment on the Quarter platform. Unlike investing directly on the Quarter platform, where home appreciation will be distributed directly to Token holders on an annual basis, the appreciation accrued by the Quarter Launch Fund will be converted into monies to be distributed to the Investors based on the advent of the secondary market for Tokens (which currently does not exist).
