For advisors who belong to firms with Home Offices, the first step in navigating the subscription process is to touch base with your Home Office’s Alternative Investment team. The Alternative Investment team will be the best resource for identifying the platforms your firm uses, accessing information regarding client qualifications, and understanding how to submit a new investment.
Familiarity with the platforms used by your firm streamlines the subscription process by reducing errors and delays in processing subscriptions. Your home office may maintain an accessible database of your available platforms. You may also have access to partnered materials that detail specific opportunities.
Understanding client qualifications is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to match clients with suitable investment opportunities, minimizing the risk of misalignment. Your home office may provide detailed guidelines for assessing client eligibility or other resources like checklists to streamline the process.
