Who can Invest
To invest in our funds, certain eligibility requirements must be met. These qualifications are set by federal regulations to protect investors, ensuring they meet financial thresholds appropriate for private investments. These standards help ensure that each investor is appropriately qualified for the risk level associated with each fund.
What are the qualification requirements for each offering?
| Offering | Qualification Requirement |
|---|---|
| IncomePlus Fund | Accredited Investor |
| QOZ Fund III | Accredited Investor |
| Strategic Credit Fund | Qualified Purchaser |
| Origin Exchange | Accredited Investor |
| Individual Deals | Accredited Investor |
What are the criteria for an accredited investor?
To be an accredited investor, you must meet one of the following criteria:
- Have an individual net worth, or joint net worth with your spouse, that exceeds $1 million (excluding the value of your primary residence).
- Have individual income exceeding $200,000 in each of the past two years and expect to reach the same this year.
- Have combined income with your spouse exceeding $300,000 in each of the past two years and expect to reach the same this year.
- Invest on behalf of a business or investment company with more than $5 million in assets and/or all of the equity owners are accredited.
What are the criteria for an qualified purchaser?
A qualified purchaser is an individual or a family-owned business that owns $5 million or more in investments, not including a primary residence or any property used for business.
How does the accreditation verification process work?
You must be an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D to purchase units of the Fund. You can verify your accredited investor status by forwarding Origin’s certification form to a licensed attorney, CPA, or financial advisor that is privy to your financial status as an accredited investor.
The licensed individual will then need to complete the form on your behalf. Or, you can utilize a third-party service provider to verify your accreditation status, such as VerifyInvestor. The accreditation form must be completed for the entity that the investor invests through. For example, if your name is John Smith, then the accreditation form must refer to you as “John Smith.” If you invest through an LLC called “John Smith Investments, LLC,” the accreditation form must state “John Smith Investments, LLC.”
Can non-accredited investors participate?
Clarify if there are any opportunities (or limitations) for non-accredited investors, and if they’re ineligible, provide a brief explanation. This will help manage expectations and prevent confusion.
