Types of Investments

Although every investment opportunity is different, MANRA Capital generally focuses on these types of investment structures:

Limited Partnership

A limited partnership investment involves two main parties: the general partner (GP) and the limited partners (LPs). MANRA Capital always acts as the GP, managing the investment and making all decisions. Limited partners provide the capital and share in the profits and from their preferred dividends but have limited liability, meaning they only risk their invested capital. LPs are not involved in the day-to-day management, allowing them to benefit from MANRA Capital's expertise while enjoying potential returns from the investment. This structure balances professional management with investor security and profit-sharing.

Mutual Fund

A mutual fund is an investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets. MANRA Capital, acting as the Manager of the fund, oversees and makes all investment decisions. Investors buy shares in the mutual fund, gaining access to a wide range of investments while benefiting from professional management.
