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.
Although the extent of the impact of the holdings in the Sun Capital Cases is unclear, the possibility of trade or business characterization remains a risk for the Access Fund and private equity funds generally, especially in the First Circuit.
