Attractive Yields for Accredited Investors

TIMIA Capital’s limited partnership provides an opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of North American technology companies that delivers attractive yields through monthly income distributions.

  • No missed payments to investors since inception of first fund, 2015
  • 12% target return (Class Y)
  • Active Credit Monitoring to minimize credit losses
  • Industry-leading transparency via quarterly financial disclosures

Distributions may vary year to year based on changes to the net asset value of the limited partnership. There is no assurance that the partnership will make distributions at its targeted rate. This is a risky investment. Significant losses can occur in the portfolio if defaults occur with underlying investments.
