- Well established fund manager with a long track record (Credibility)
- Open funds allowing you to subscribe and redeem fund when you want, not when the fund manager wants.
- Closed funds generally don’t allow for redemption or sale by the investor, and repayment happens when the fund is wound up or when bought out.
- Look for good counter party risk. Who is really behind the repayment / redemption of the fund? What is the risk/reward?
- Start-ups and Venture Capital are higher risk than well-established funds
- Avoid closed fund, as the fund manager is in control of when investor is repaid, rather than the investor being in control of when they get their money back
- Transparency – look for high levels of transparency, particularly who is behind the fund, and their history.
- Look for funds which attract a wide range of local investors, not just investors looking for immigration
- Funds focused only on GV investors will be higher risk, higher fees, less transparency
- Look for funds which hold public listed assets, rather than private assets that can’t be monitored and priced
- Size and experience are important. How large is the fund, how much experience do the fund managers have, and how much experience to they have with GVs.
- Fund independence. Look for a Fund Manager who can buy and sell assets, not for a Fund Manager linked to a developer, where the assets are limited to those being developed. If a FM has independence, they simply sell an underperforming asset, and replace it with a better one. Can your fund manager do that?
