Additionally, due to the AI revolution and new digital industrial age, we see that the future preeminent alternative asset management firms will be mostly reliant on modern quantitative methods and AI assistance to perform at scale.
Finally, due to the further institutionalization and standardization of these alternative asset classes, we anticipate greater levels of regulation, which requires future investment managers to have an in-depth understanding of securities and investment compliance.

Edrees Feda
Founder and Managing Principal
Holding a pivotal role in the firm, Edrees’s investments journey began when he was just 13 and in high school. With his interest in finance stemming from the 2008 financial crisis, he started by trading equities under a custodian account. From there, he pursued his intellectual curiosity in quantitative finance research through algorithmic equities trading and alternative investments via private REIT and distressed RMBS products analysis.
Extending his curiosity after school, Edrees began his professional career at a boutique SFR acquisition brokerage, swiftly elevating the firm’s presence from the DC Metropolitan area to a national scale. A strategic pivot led him to Crowdstreet, contributing to over $1.5 Billion of equity raises as an Associate Real Estate Analyst.
Subsequently, Edrees joined M.C. Dean, blending Corporate Development and Family Office roles, to manage M&A activities, corporate real estate portfolios, and VC/PE investments. Concurrently, he consulted for clients such as PPR Capital Management, leading their Commercial Real Estate/Multifamily vertical as a JV and Co-GP equity capital source.
Edrees holds the following Series securities licenses: 7, 79, 57, 24, 27, 3,
4, 63, 65, 99, and SIE.
Additionally, Edrees’ real estate licensure covers the following jurisdictions: VA, DC, MD, TX, FL, GA, NC, TN, PA, NY, MA, IL, CO, CA, NV, and WA.
Today, Edrees is Founder and Managing Principal of Lucrum Companies, the parent company of Lucrum Capital.
