INVESTING & TRACK RECORD
With deep partnership roots, we build out diversified cash flowing portfolios of mineral assets, Together.
“We will know our investors, face to face. And they will know us.”
— Matthew Montgomery
We start with relationships.
When we talk about being partners, this isn’t a “talk every 2 years” kind of relationship. We look for people who have wisdom to share just as much as capital. Our view is a long one. We live and invest from our heartbeat, an intentional reflection of authenticity, and this is a key characteristic that makes for good partnerships.
Deep Partnership Roots Build Strong Stewardship Branches.
There is a symbiosis between the depth of partnership we seek to nourish and the kinds of investments we pursue. Both the opportunities and the way we pursue them grow directly out of the values and priorities of the investors that come into MAEVLO. Like a tree, we grow deeper before we grow taller, and we don’t view this as a race at all. Steady development is the goal, and our pace is a more relational one. We don’t hurry to look busy, we move quickly when we have purpose and clarity.
Why Minerals?
There are so many reasons why we do what we do, but the reasons we like minerals specifically are simple. No asset is more fundamental to a growing and thriving society than energy. All growth and life require energy; without it all things go cold and dark. In our age and for some time to come, oil and gas remain the most efficient and available sources of that energy. If you invest in something that is a fundamental need, there will always be a market for it.
Minerals are tangible, they are there, in the ground, and they are valuable. Owning them just makes a lot of sense.
Why Royalties?
There are many ways to invest in minerals. You can own a gas station and sell to the end user, you can be involved in the transportation of them around the country, you can be the one that goes and hunts them down, drills and extracts them, or you can sit at the end of the chain and own them. That’s where we like to play.
There is a simplicity to owning royalties. You have the underground asset and if anyone wants to drill and extract it, they’ll need to pay you for a portion of what they take out. You don’t have to deal with equipment, with weather, with construction, with market dealing. The investment runs itself and you just receive a paycheck. If you need to, they are easily sold off later on—there is always a market.
There is a simplicity and a clarity to sitting in the position of royalty owners.
Why the Fund Structure?
Mineral royalties are often owned in small batches by individual owners and families. These assets are available on the market—you can go buy them. What Maevlo offers in the fund structure is immediate diversification and serious expertise in hunting down good royalties. Instead of one or two wells you picked yourself, you can have a portion of hundreds of wells in many geographical regions at various stages of their lifecycle, all of which have been vetted by our exceptional team. We are experts in finding, buying, and aggregating small and out-of-the-way assets that have been split into smaller and smaller parts due to inheritances, or for which production has slowed from the original peak levels but retain a long tail of stable production. Our interest in purchasing these kinds of assets and the value in bundling means we can make attractive offers to the owners we purchase from, who have seen their royalty checks dwindle over time and who are looking for a change.
By partnering together, we jointly become stewards of a diverse and essential portfolio of energy assets that keep the lights on and our world running.
We build out funds that are between $10-$20M in size. Through our three current funds we manage over 600 oil and gas wells in 5 states.
Each fund operates as a closed fund structure, meaning there is a date after which no new capital commitments are accepted. Committed funds are then called during the deployment period as we acquire choice royalty interests. Once fully deployed, the royalties start coming in and we distribute them for the rest of the originally agreed to lifespan of the fund. At the end of that period, together we can choose to sell or hold on to them longer, depending on market conditions.
As funds close, we also begin the process of opening new ones, so don’t worry, there are always opportunities to jump out onboard.
