Since 1987, SPA has been a Registered Investment Adviser with the SEC. SPA also qualifies as a QPAM. SPA carries $5 million of E&O coverage.
LITIGATION
Neither SPA nor its shareholders has ever been involved in any litigation, arbitration, mediation or other legal proceedings, government investigation or regulatory proceedings in relation to its real estate investment management services.
INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS
In 2006 SPA’s President served on the six member steering committee of the National Construction Alliance (i.e., Operating Engineers, Laborers, and Carpenters) exploring and analyzing both the economic feasibility and job security aspects of Taft-Hartley Funds’ investing in private infrastructure funds then being offered to institutional investors. SPA is now the largest QPAM/investment advisory firm serving as a fiduciary for Taft-Hartley Funds investments in private infrastructure funds.
INDEX FUNDS
In 2009, in response to a growing demand by Taft-Hartley Funds to convert actively managed accounts to a passive index strategy, SPA began to serve as an investment manager for Taft-Hartley Funds which sought to hold their core investment assets in separate account index funds. As of June 30, 2009, SPA had in excess of $1.3 billion under management invested in separate account index funds. In light of Taft‑Hartley Funds’ growing disillusionment with active manager returns compared to index returns, SPA anticipates that the separate account segment of its business will expand significantly in the coming years.
