Bay Street Quantamental Modules: Whitepaper Compilation for Institutional LPs

Last Updated

May 14, 2025

Capital Stack Optimization

• Bay Street evaluates risk and return across the capital stack—senior debt to common equity—using AHA, IRR sensitivity, and structural resilience overlays.

• Each tranche is modeled independently: Senior Debt (DSCR-driven), Mezzanine (IRR delta), Preferred Equity (liquidity adjusted), and Common Equity (residual + promote impact).

• ICs revise deals where leverage penalties outweigh IRR upside. Stack design impacts Bay Score and risk tiers directly.

Broker Compensation as a Risk & Return Lever

• Bay Street scores broker fees as liquidity drag within LSD.

• Compensation is modeled as % of TEV and stress-tested against capped/earnout toggles.

• Higher fees reduce Bay Score by 7–12 points; contract clauses like clawbacks and non-circumvent provisions impact sponsor scoring.

Real-Time Monitoring and Bay Score Drift

• AHA and BAS scores are recalculated quarterly post-close using RevPAR, NOI, margin, and timeline data.

• Bay Score drift triggers IC memos, sponsor alerts, and potential re-underwriting.

• Example: Caribbean hotel score drops from 88 to 68 due to RevPAR shortfall; IC initiates mid-cycle correction.

ESG Integration Within Bay Score & Deal Selection

• ESG factors affect Sponsor (S), Region (R), and Market (M) components of Bay Score.

• Inputs: kWh/sqft, green certification, DEI policy, and sponsor audits.

• Delta of 15–20 points observed in ESG-aligned vs non-compliant deals. ESG compliance feeds IC filters and co-invest approvals.

Alpha Attribution by Region, Type, and Strategy

• Bay Street decomposes AHA by component: FX, brand lift, CapEx delta, and timing alpha.

• IC memos show attribution weighting; example: +1.6% AHA from timing, -0.3% from CapEx underperformance.

• Portfolio allocation adjusts based on attribution dominance.

Country Risk Scoring Framework

• Macro Z-Score composites generate 0–100 country scores, applied as R and M modifiers.

• Inputs: FX volatility, BOP strength, visa access, and governance indicators.

• Scores <40 result in 10–20 point Bay Score penalty and require risk mitigation overlays.

Bay Street vs. Traditional Hospitality Strategies

• Comparison of Bay Score, BAS, and AHA vs REIT ETFs and legacy hospitality funds.

• Bay Street: Mean Bay Score = 87.2, BAS = 0.84 | REIT Avg = 62.5, BAS = 0.36

• Conclusion: Quantamental selection outperforms intuition and yield-only screens.

Inside the Bay Street Portfolio Optimizer

• Utility function: U = α1(Bay Score) + α2(AHA) - α3(Volatility) + α4(Liquidity)

• Inputs: position caps, ESG toggles, regional weight bands, IRR thresholds.

• Portfolio rebalanced quarterly or upon material Bay Score drift.

Bay Street’s Co-Investment Structuring Framework

• Co-invest rights offered based on public dislocation signals and alpha tiers.

• Terms: 8% base preferred → 20% promote split. Mix of common and preferred co-invest.

• Use Case: Singapore hotel flagged via REIT spread widening → LPs offered tiered entry.

Why Agentic AI in Hotel Booking Is More Than Just Personalization
July 30, 2025

The July 2025 article by Andrew McGregor, VP Accommodation at Access Hospitality, opens a compelling chapter in the broader AI-hospitality discourse—one that Bay Street has been watching closely as it intersects with our cultural alpha thesis and the next layer of yield differentiation across the sector. McGregor doesn’t just call for better digital tools; he asserts a philosophical reordering of the guest journey itself. What we find most consequential from a quantamental perspective is how agentic AI—software that not only responds but acts—redefines not just conversion funnels, but the expectations of travelers shaped by Uberized decision trees, smart defaults, and context-aware prompts.

AI in Hospitality — From Predictive Luxury to Cultural Alpha
July 30, 2025

Philippe Ziade’s vision for AI-powered hospitality, as demonstrated through his Otonomus Hotel concept, underscores a broader truth Bay Street has been tracking: the next generation of hospitality alpha won’t come from bricks and mortar alone. It will come from the convergence of predictive technology and cultural narrative. AI promises to redefine operational efficiency, staff empowerment, and guest personalization, but the key question for investors is whether it can also defend yield and loyalty premiums in an increasingly competitive luxury landscape.

Why Asian Capital is Flowing Into Europe — A Hospitality and Cultural Alpha Play
July 30, 2025

Asian investors are rediscovering Europe, and this time, the story is less about opportunistic portfolio flips and more about wealth preservation, yield diversification, and cultural brand-building. The trend, highlighted in the recent IHIF EMEA panel, mirrors Bay Street’s own discussions with Asian family offices and art dynasties seeking not just financial returns, but narrative defensibility — a theme that resonates deeply with our quantamental scoring framework.
