Business Thesis Statement: Demand for Film, TV, Music and Digital is growing faster than ever as the boom of the new digital era has given way to unparalleled access to technology and an arms race for content. The EFG-Renascence Business Opportunity ("Renascence") is a new strategy focused on making a tactical investment in a slate of multicultural content to satiate growing end markets while adhering to strict downside risk mitigation principals. Its investment strategy takes advantage of the Cares Act USC 26 Section 181, allowing wealthy parties to use "taxable income" to make film, TV, and theater investments. This multiplies ROI while protecting principal invested. Renascence structures each investment against a target IRR and cash-on-cash metric, while mitigating downside exposure through project finance and structured finance principles in order to maximize invested returns. Renascence combines best-in-class creative management teams with rigorous financial criteria, creating a diverse and disciplined portfolio designed to generate non-correlated, out sized, risk adjusted returns. That, and as a socially conscious production company dedicated to entertainment that inspires audiences to engage in positive social change, Renascence's content and social impact mandate speaks directly to the rise of today's "conscious consumer," representing over 2.5 billion consumers who are compelled to make impactful content a priority focus.
