United Advisor Group (UAG)
UAG supports advisors pursuing independence with infrastructure, resources, and a partner-first approach to building the firm you actually want to run.
Best for:
- Advisors actively exploring the RIA leap
- Teams in transition who want fewer surprises
- Newly independent firms building their operating rhythm
Why it matters:
- Helps reduce “transition fog” by bringing structure to the move
- Adds leverage where independence is hardest: operations, execution, and follow-through
- Creates a smoother runway from decision → launch → run
When you want independence but you don’t want to build everything alone.
Why it matters:
- The strategy emphasizes moderate leverage (about 60 to 65 percent loan-to-cost) and a highly filtered pipeline, pursuing only a small percentage of analyzed opportunities
- Real estate can offer favorable tax treatment, including depreciation and interest expense offsetting current taxable income, plus capital gains treatment
- Waterway targets risk-adjusted returns with quarterly distributions that have ranged from 5 to 8 percent per year on stabilized properties (past performance is not indicative of future results)
Waterway Family Funds
Waterway Family Funds acquires commercial real estate with a focus on achieving strong risk-adjusted returns across diverse asset classes and geographic locations. Their approach is designed to stay opportunistic and nimble, while remaining disciplined and conservative in deal selection.
Best for:
- Advisors seeking institutional-style commercial real estate exposure diversified by asset class and geography
- Clients who value a conservative investment posture, including moderate leverage and disciplined underwriting
- Investors interested in tax-advantaged real estate characteristics, such as depreciation and interest expense offsets
- Portfolios looking for income potential through quarterly distributions on stabilized properties
Why it matters:
- Centralizes review and supervision into a single system of record
- Reduces “where did we document that?” moments
- Supports audit-ready workflows without living in spreadsheets
When compliance needs to be tighter without becoming heavier and more difficult.
