Episode 12: Incubator Funds
Manage episode 360474767 series 3415341
In a less-than-stellar fundraising environment, many aspiring fund managers want to dip their toe into the fund waters, without incurring the expense of a full fund offering. This is where an incubator fund might make sense, and that’s the topic of today’s episode. An incubator fund allows an aspiring manager to test an investment strategy and develop a track record that can eventually be marketed to outside investors.
Key Points From This Episode:
- My definition of an incubator fund, and how it differs from another common definition.
- Flashback to the Legislative Triangle from Episode 1 and the four prongs of the Howey Test from Episode 2.
- Why a true incubator fund cuts corners off the Legislative Triangle.
- Limitations of an incubator fund (no outside investors, no compensation).
