How LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC Prioritizes Principal Protection Over Chasing Yield

If you’ve ever watched an investment promise double-digit returns with zero downside, your gut probably told you: Something doesn’t add up. And you’d be right.

In the world of private investing, especially alternative income funds, there’s always a tradeoff. Some funds reach for higher returns by cranking up the risk. But at LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC, we’re playing a different game.

Our strategy starts with one core principle: principal protection comes first. Everything else—yield, speed, scale—builds from that foundation.

Here’s exactly how we deliver consistent monthly income while keeping your capital safer than most “high-yield” alternatives.

Why Principal Protection Matters More Than Ever

In uncertain markets, the smartest investors aren’t asking, “How much can I make?” They’re asking, “What’s the downside?”

It’s easy to get lured in by splashy returns, especially when public markets are bouncing like a yo-yo. But at the end of the day, the real test of a good investment is simple:

Can it protect your capital through all market cycles?

LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC was built with this mindset. Our investors aren’t gamblers. They’re accredited professionals and high-net-worth families who want solid income—and sleep-at-night peace of mind.

The Case for First-Lien Trust Deeds

Our debt fund invests exclusively in first-lien trust deeds, meaning we’re first in line if a borrower defaults.

This is the gold standard in private real estate lending. Unlike equity, second-position notes, or unsecured debt, first-lien positions give us the legal right to foreclose and recover capital before anyone else.

That priority position is what makes our portfolio more resilient—because even when something goes sideways, we have legal control and hard collateral to fall back on.

Conservative Loan-to-Value Ratios (LTVs)

One of the biggest risks in lending is overextending. Some funds will lend up to 85% of a property’s value—or more—just to win the deal.

Not us.

At LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC, we cap our loans at 60–70% LTV. That means the borrower has significant equity in the deal, and there’s plenty of cushion if the market softens.

This conservative buffer dramatically reduces the risk of capital loss and gives us more flexibility to work with borrowers if things get tight.

Short-Term Lending with Faster Risk Cycles

We specialize in short-term loans—typically 6 to 18 months.

This gives us several advantages:

• We reprice and re-evaluate deals frequently
• We’re not exposed to long-term market drift or interest rate swings
• If market conditions shift, we adapt faster than multi-year funds locked into stale pricing

And because our average loan duration is under 12 months, investor capital cycles more frequently, reducing exposure and increasing responsiveness.

No Fund-Level Leverage

Here’s a little-known fact: many debt funds borrow money to juice their returns. They use leverage to scale—and when things go well, it works.

But when things don’t? Leverage turns a small crack into a blowout.

We don’t play that game. LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC is an unleveraged fund. Every loan is backed by real capital, not borrowed lines or warehouse credit. That means no margin calls, no forced sales, and no surprises if the market turns.

In-House Underwriting with No Guesswork

Outsourcing underwriting is like lending money based on someone else’s homework. At LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC, we do everything in-house:

• We vet the borrowers personally
• We inspect the properties
• We analyze every exit strategy with a fine-tooth comb

We say no to over 90% of loan requests—because if it doesn’t meet our safety-first criteria, it doesn’t belong in the fund.

That kind of discipline is rare. But it’s the reason we’ve had zero principal losses in over 13 years.

No Hype, Just History

Since day one, we’ve kept our promise simple:

Protect capital. Pay monthly. Communicate clearly.

We’ve weathered rate hikes, recessions, inflation scares, and market dips. And through it all, LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC has delivered steady income without compromising safety.

Other funds may market flashier returns. But our investors stick with us because we earn trust month after month, report after report.

It’s Not Just the Returns—It’s the Risk-Adjusted Returns

Many investors focus on yield. But return means nothing without context.

If one fund offers 10% with high volatility and capital risk—and another offers 8% with far less downside—what’s the smarter bet?

LBC Capital Income Fund, LLC’s focus on risk-adjusted yield is what makes our income predictable, stable, and reinvestable. Our investors aren’t chasing the biggest number. They’re optimizing for the smartest one.
