Episode 36: Adviser Integration
Last episode we dissected the SEC’s “venture capital fund” definition and discussed how, if an adviser manages only VC funds, there is no AUM ceiling on its ability to remain exempt from registration. If that same adviser manages money for any non-Venture capital fund, it has to register as an investment adviser once AUM hits $150mm. This can lead some less scrupulous investment advisers to try to “game” the system by forming new adviser entities, thinking they can skirt regulation by forming new legal entities.
