Bay Street Quantamental Modules: Whitepaper Compilation for Institutional LPs

Last Updated

May 28, 2026

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.

Thailand Hotel Investment: Bangkok, Phuket and the MICE Opportunity
July 11, 2026

Thailand's hotel transaction market posted a record THB 26.4 billion (~USD 845 million) in 2025 -- the highest ever recorded -- though JLL forecasts a 50% reversion in 2026 as speculative capital exits. The fundamental demand picture is cautious: 32.97 million arrivals in 2025, down 7.2% YoY, with Chinese arrivals collapsing 34% to 4.47 million. For a Singapore VCC fund, the optimal entry is a BOI-promoted greenfield or renovation play in a secondary resort province (Phang Nga, Krabi, Koh Samui) where full foreign ownership, 5-year CIT exemption, and freehold land ownership apply -- not Bangkok CBD or Phuket where cap rates compress below institutional thresholds.

Australia Hotel Investment: Gateway Cities and the Institutional Yield Floor
July 9, 2026

Australia's hotel investment market delivered A$2.7 billion in total transaction volume in 2025, an 80% increase on 2024, with offshore investors accounting for 78% of activity. Sydney RevPAR hit a record A$279 for the full year; Brisbane ADR is 60% above 2019 levels. Supply is structurally constrained at 41% below historic delivery levels. For a Singapore VCC fund, the SAFTA FIRB threshold of A$1.464 billion means most individual hotel acquisitions require no FIRB notification -- a decisive structural advantage over Chinese and Middle Eastern institutional capital.

Saudi Arabia Hospitality Fund Opportunities Under Vision 2030
July 7, 2026

Saudi Arabia surpassed 122.6 million tourist arrivals in 2025, exceeding Vision 2030's original 100M target three years early. With 29.3M international visitors, USD 2.5B in H1 hotel M&A, a PIF pipeline of USD 3.6B across 3,300 keys, and a Singapore-Saudi DTA providing 5% dividend WHT, this brief covers the bifurcated opportunity -- from stabilised Jeddah assets to giga-project co-investments alongside PIF -- for a Singapore VCC fund.
