JTC will leverage its industry-leading technology to provide security, transparency and compliance solutions, including industry-leading social impact measurement and reporting tools
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- JTC Americas (formerly NES Financial) has entered into an agreement to provide fund administration services for RevOZ Fund III, LP, a fund facilitated by RevOZ Capital, an award-winning opportunity zone platform focused on high-impact real estate developments in Opportunity Zone communities across the country.
RevOZ's recent investments include 421 Penn, a 230-unit mixed-use project in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana; the 660 J Street office repositioning project in Sacramento, CA, and a recently-opened behavioral health facility for at-risk youth in San Bernardino, California. Several additional projects are planned in emerging urban markets across the country.
JTC Americas has been the leader in OZ fund administration since the program's inception, offering purpose-built solutions that leverage technology to streamline complicated tax and administrative requirements with embedded security, transparency, and regulatory compliance at each step of an investment's life cycle, lowering operating costs while minimizing risk.
This extensive experience will aid RevOZ in its desire to take an honest look at the effectiveness of projects from an impact standpoint, as JTC has pioneered best practices for impact reporting in Opportunity Zones.
"We chose JTC Americas because they're able to combine experience in traditional Private Equity with tools designed specifically for Opportunity Zones," said Lisa Bhathal Merage, Managing Partner and Chief Impact Officer at RevOZ Capital. "JTC's social impact measurement tools can help us quantify the positive effects these projects will have on their communities."

RevOZ's Social Impact Council, comprised of diverse, multidisciplinary leaders with deep community, government and business expertise, advises on its overall social impact strategy to ensure strong community engagement, impact assessment and fund transparency and reporting.
"The Opportunity Zones initiative, while still early in its lifecycle, is beginning to show what a powerful tool it can be to help lift communities that have been left behind," said Reid Thomas, Chief Revenue Officer and Managing Director of JTC Americas. "RevOZ's commitment to improving distressed neighborhoods and measuring the impact its investments make are vital to the overall success of the program."
