Private Funds & Investment Management Lawyers in Chicago
Diversifying your investment portfolio is crucial when it comes to mitigating risk and maximizing yield, as most investors know. However, this diversification also brings a wide variety of different regulations on both federal and state levels. To keep everything in order, you need to consult with legal experts who have a strong background in investment management and securities regulation.
Private Investment Funds
Although private investment funds are generally exempt from federal securities regulations, they do still have the potential to run you into legal complications, especially given the variety of investment types that your portfolio might contain.
The attorneys at Hart David Carson can help with the formation, negotiation, taxation, and protection of the following types of funds:
- Real estate funds: Investments in real estate or mortgages, which may form part of a more comprehensive investment strategy
- Private equity funds: These investments, made directly to a private company or used to buy out a company entirely, tend to be long-term. The investment is made in the hopes that the financial prospects of the bought company will improve so that it may be resold for a profit.
- Venture capital: Higher-risk investments in startup businesses, which may require complex structuring to be effective
- Hedge funds: Funds that involve investments in a variety of assets, markets, etc. in order to maximize the chances of a return, regardless of market conditions
- Mutual funds: A pool of investments intended for the buying of securities, including stocks, bonds, deposits, etc.
