FAQ
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.
Specifically, hedge funds are restricted under Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 to raising capital only in non-public offerings and only from “accredited investors,” or individuals with a minimum net worth of $1,000,000 or a minimum income of $200,000 in each of the last two years and a reasonable ...
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.

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.

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.
