Frequently Asked Questions

Our minimum investment varies with each fund introduction.

Investors are Members of a fund (organized as an LLC) that purchases a specific company’s Shares or the economic interests in shares. Most funds we introduce will have a manager that will establish a Series of Interests for the purpose of making a separate and distinct investment in a specific company or companies identified by the Manager; purchasing securities in such company or companies from secondary sources (directly or through forward purchase contracts); or investing in interests of investment funds, special purpose vehicles and other entities (including investment funds and other entities affiliated with the Manager or its affiliates) whose investment portfolios are comprised of one or more companies consistent with the Fund’s general investment focus. Each Series will remain segregated from each other Series.

Selling shareholders are current and former employees, early investors, and advisors. They are typically selling only a portion of their holdings in order to 1) cover costs associated with exercising and paying taxes on the remainder of their shares 2) life events such as purchasing a home or preparing for a child and to 3) diversify their holdings.

Your investment in most funds would be taxed like any other fund investment. Our networks funds are taxed as partnerships, meaning that the fund’s gains and losses would pass through to its investors. Generally, if an investment is held for more than one year before its disposition, any income resulting from that investment would be taxed at the long term capital gains rate. On an annual basis, Investors will receive a Schedule K-1 that updates them on their investment.
