Episode notes
Read The Documents Thoroughly
- Read every word of the offering documents with a skeptical eye before you invest.
- Verify all disclosures and watch for long contracts that create outs for promoters.
Control Determines Investment Outcomes
- Funds hand investors control to managers and that invites three core risks: crook, idiot, or high fees.
- Losing control often means you lose outsized profits to promoters.
Scale Forces Tradeoffs In Investing
- Deal scale changes the investor's options: direct owner, small partner group, or large fund each have trade-offs.
- Bigger deals often require relinquishing control and invite higher risk of hidden fees or mismanagement.
