Fractional Syndication, a firm based in New York, has announced the launch of a new real estate tokenisation platform, The Investors Pool. The platform, live at www.TheInvestorsPool.com, is set to broaden the access to property investments by offering fractional ownership of assets.
The move is designed to make trading real estate holdings as straightforward as dealing in publicly listed shares. Through the conversion of property ownership into digital tokens on a blockchain, the platform permits investments for as little as $100. This dramatic reduction in the barrier to entry is expected to introduce much-needed liquidity to the property market, as tokens will be available for trade on a secondary market.
Fractional Syndication LLC is targeting a diverse portfolio of US real estate projects. These include planned unit developments (PUDs), multi-family apartment blocks, and specialist housing options such as co-living, corporate, and insurance relocation properties. The projects also feature solar farms and affordable housing, capitalising on high-growth real estate sectors. PUDs, for example, are valued for their master-planned communities that generate multiple revenue streams from sales, leases, and homeowner association fees.
A key differentiator for The Investors Pool is its innovative use of a combined Regulation D and Regulation S securities framework. This dual-regulatory approach ensures full compliance with US securities law while allowing the platform to cater to both US and international investors. US offerings will run under Regulation D, aimed at private placements for accredited and a limited number of non-accredited investors. Simultaneously, Regulation S will manage offerings for investors based outside the US, a strategy the SEC has confirmed will not be integrated.
Each property is held within a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structure, considered a best practice in the sector. The tokens issued by the dedicated SPV legally represent fractional ownership, giving holders enforceable rights without the administrative hassle of direct property ownership. The platform has also partnered with Sumsub to embed strict “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and “Anti-Money Laundering” (AML) procedures, ensuring regulatory adherence. Smart contracts on the platform are aligned with legal documents such as private placement memoranda, effectively bridging the technological and legal frameworks.
The global real estate tokenisation market is expanding rapidly, and The Investors Pool is positioned to exploit this growth. Its competitive advantages stem from the $100 minimum investment, the provision of a secondary market for liquidity, and a strategic focus on specialised, high-yielding asset classes. Furthermore, the Reg D/S framework offers regulatory clarity for institutional investors, facilitating global capital access.
Michael Fernandes, fund manager and spokesperson for Fractional Syndication LLC, stated, “Our mission with The Investors Pool is to level the playing field for real estate investors. By combining the power of blockchain technology with a compliant regulatory framework, we are unlocking a new era of liquidity, accessibility, and transparency in property investment.”
