FAQ

As a result, most hedge fund managers seek to keep the level of investments by Benefit Plan Investors in their funds below the ERISA 25% threshold at all times so as to avoid such obligations.

As a result, most hedge fund managers seek to keep the level of investments by Benefit Plan Investors in their funds below the ERISA 25% threshold at all times so as to avoid such obligations.

Hedge funds often require substantial initial investments, typically ranging from $100,000 to several million dollars. This high entry point is primarily due to the sophisticated strategies and the exclusive nature of these funds, which are designed to attract high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors.

ERISA prohibits cross trades, the exchange of assets between two accounts without going through a public market. There have been numerous exemption requests motivated by a desire to reduce transaction costs. Mutual funds are permitted to cross trade under Rule 17a-7.

The Investment Advisers Act requires hedge fund managers with over $100 million in assets under management to register with the SEC as investment advisers. Registered advisers are subject to periodic examinations and must maintain detailed records of their activities.

If benefit plan investors own less than 25% of the Class A interests, but 25% or more of the Class B interests, the assets of the entire fund will be considered plan assets. This is true even though benefit plan investors own less than 25% of both the Class A interests and the total equity of the fund.

A key point is that the 25% rule applies to all share classes individually. For example, if class A represents 90% of the fund/entity's assets, and class B represents 10% of the total fund equity asset, you could not have more than 2.5% of class B shares owned by benefits or retirement plans.

You generally need to be an accredited investor to qualify for investing in hedge funds, which the sec defines as having a net worth of >$1M excluding your residence. And an annual income of $200k or greater.

The rule is triggered if you raise enough dollars through retirement accounts. Generally speaking, it is wise to stay below 25% of retirement plan assets unless you qualify for an exception. For "fund of funds", the fund acts as an ERISA investor.
