# BAM Capital

> BAM Capital is the private-equity arm of The BAM Companies, a Carmel, Indiana-based multifamily owner-operator that gives accredited investors and financial advisers access to private apartment investments. It sources and underwrites properties, raises capital through funds and joint ventures, and relies on affiliated in-house management and construction teams to operate the assets.
