Notable Quotes 2
where the Access Fund has a significant ownership interest (generally 80% or mom) in such portfolio company, there is a potential risk that the Access Fund and any portfolio company could be subject to controlled group liability under ERISA.
Investments in the Access Fund should therefore be considered only by persons financially able to maintain their investment for an extended period of time, who can afford a loss of all or a substantial part of their investment and have the financial ability to satisfy capital calls.
Red Flags 3
- Illiquidity of investment in the Access Fund.
- Lack of transferability or redemption of interests.
- Investment concentration in the Underlying Fund.
Legal Compliance
- Potential risk that the Access Fund and any portfolio company could be subject to controlled group liability under ERISA.
- Possibility of trade or business characterization remains a risk for the Access Fund and private equity funds generally, especially in the First Circuit.
- Risk that a court might find that related and/or parallel funds have formed a de facto partnership and that ownership interests are aggregated when applying the controlled group ownership tests.
