In the fall of 2005, Paul Hutchinson and John Pennington were returning to Utah, from a scuba diving trip in Ecuador. These two entrepreneurs had both been quite successful with various companies over the years and knew they could combine their skill-sets to create something amazing together. On the return home flight, Paul turned to John and asked “Why don’t we just start our own private equity investment fund?”  This fortuitously led to both of them co-founding the Bridge Loan Capital Fund LP (BLoC Fund I) in 2006. Subsequent years brought much success and additional extremely talented partners; Douglas Anderson, Jonathan Slager, Donaldson Hartman and Kelley Hansen. These original six entrepreneurs established and built the platform that would one day manage over $10 billion of Assets Under Management (AUM).

In December 2006, Donaldson Hartman’s analytical skills predicted a great recession hitting the United States. This caused the entrepreneurs of Bridge Loan Capital (“BLoC”) to change their market strategy from doing real estate loans to building a fund that would purchase real estate within the apartment sector and improve, manage and dispose of these assets when the time was right. In the fall of 2008 they launched the Bridge Multifamily & Commercial Office Fund I (formerly known as ROC Fund I). As the partners were searching for a company that would be able to manage the properties they intended to purchase, they scoured the hi-tech markets of Los Angeles and San Francisco for a firm that could handle the volume. As the saying goes, ‘the stars all aligned’ and as fate would have it, they found an incredible pool of talent right in their own back yard of Salt Lake City. Coincidentally, the company they discovered was named Bridge Property Management (BPM) and was located only a few miles from the Bridge Loan Capital offices.

Within just a few weeks the Bridge Loan Capital team knew they must include all the talented personnel at BPM into this new fund. Therefore, they contacted their attorneys and had the fund documents (Limited Partnership Agreement, Private Placement Agreement & Subscription Documents) rewritten to include the biographies of the principals of BPM.

BPM’s history started in 1991 with Dan Stanger and Chris Young co-founding the apartment and multifamily business model. They later added principals: Russ Minnick, Rich Stayner, Dean Allara, Brad Andrus and Kevin Anderson. By 2000, they formally change their name to Bridge Property Management and grew the company into one of the premier property managers in the United States.

In the spring of 2009, Paul Hutchinson’s group, Bridge Loan Capital Fund (BLoC) and Bridge Property Management (BPM) joined forces with one of Donaldson

Hartman’s former bosses at Citigroup, Mr. Robert Morse. This newly formed group of talented individuals renamed the organization to be known as Bridge Investment Group, LLC. Under this leadership and talent pool — that learned to worked together quickly and efficiently.Bridge Investment Group now manages over 72 individual funds, employs over 1000 people in 17 states, has assets in over 25 states and manages over $10 billion AUM.

The most astonishing thing is that during the time period in which all this came together, the U.S. was in the early stages of a great recession when companies around them were retracting in size and in their investment thesis. During this volatile time in the Bridge funds depended heavily on the capital raising ability of Mr. Paul Hutchinson. When starting a private equity fund the sponsors always have the goal of reaching institutional capital investors. This is much more difficult in the beginning than it would seem to be. Before a private equity fund can reach and grab the attention of an institutional investor.

With the ability to invest multiple tens of millions of dollars, they require a historical track record of traction and success. Therefore, all a fund can do, before attracting institutional investors, is to raise capital, one by one, from high net worth individuals.  To do this on a grand scale in a stable economy is a monument task. But raising any capital in 2009 in 2010 was seemingly impossible. Paul Hutchinson’s ability and skill set enabled him to raise immense amounts of capital from investors in a time period when investment capital was scarce. This ability solidified Paul Hutchinson’s value in the financial markets worldwide.

Mr. Hutchinson has now retired from the multi-billion-dollar company he co-founded but enjoys the responsibility of maintaining the relationships with the family offices and high net worth investors in the funds. Paul is still a partner and co-founder of Bridge Investment Group and continues to refer his clients to this esteemed real estate team he helped create. He still holds his Series 65 license as a registered investment adviser. As a highly respected wealth manager, Paul has an elite clientele of investors he counsels [A1] on investment strategies.
