This is significantly easier for ABC capital to manage 1 investor versus 20, so many times especially in very large capital raises a company like ABC capital may offer an incentive to do this.So ABC Capital could offer terms of an 8% preferred return and 80% equity split for an investment of $1M instead of $50k.So now what that operator does is create a fund of funds, and they’ll open up their own fund, lets call it the Main Street Fund, and open up the investment to their investor database to go raise $1M.Then that fund, the Main Street Fund, raises $1M from investors and may be able to offer better returns to their investors because now they’re taking advantage of a better split by being part of the larger $1M investment.So in this scenario The Main Street Fund is the fund of funds for ABC Capital’s syndication.So what are the pros and cons of investing in something like the Main Street Fund in this scenario as opposed to directly with ABC Capital?
