WASHINGTON, DC—Investing in Opportunity Zones is not just about tax benefits and socially-responsible developments. Investors have to make sure the projects pencil. Data analysis, in other words, is just as crucial. So says Craig Bernstein, a principal at OPZ Bernstein, which recently launched the OPZ Bernstein Opportunity Zone Fund.

“We have a fiduciary responsibility to spend the time conducting the quantitative analysis while evaluating the 8,700 Opportunity Zones,” explains Bernstein.

Bernstein targets areas that have already experienced some gentrification and revitalization plus areas that can sustain growth during the life of the investment.
