ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ—Procida Funding & Advisors, LLC, which recently celebrated its 20^th anniversary, has engaged JMP Securities as advisor to Procida and its private equity real estate fund, The 100 Mile Fund, with respect to debt and equity capital raising and strategic alternatives.

Retaining JMP Securities will allow the management to concentrate on originating and managing assets.

"With JMP on board we can focus more on our business strategy which is originating, participating in, servicing and/or acquiring high yield special situation debt.

The 100 Mile Fund specializes in short term bridge and construction loans of $500,000 to $30 million. Since its formation in October 2011, the Fund has originated more than $186 million of loans. The Fund's average annual net realized distributed return for 2011 through 2014 was 14.5%.

The firm also provides advisory services specializing in construction, development, marketing, restructuring and work outs.

The 100 Mile Fund is an open ended fund with annual redemption rights and makes all investments within 100 miles of Procida's Englewood Cliffs office.
