The Fund will maintain a particular emphasis on the San Francisco Bay Area, where IEC has invested since its founding. 

“Institutional investors are placing a premium on clearly defined demand drivers, disciplined underwriting and a partnership orientation,” said Marshall Boyd, president and CIO of IEC. “Fund VI is small but mighty, investing with conviction in markets we have operated in for decades. The structure allows select joint venture partners to invest alongside us and extend the fund’s reach.”
