00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,970
Tilden Moschetti: It's almost a
certainty that at some point,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,000
you will have an investor in
your syndication or your

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,240
investment fund, who wants to
redeem themselves out who wants

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,450
to get out of that investment,
get their money back and be

5
00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:16,350
gone? Typically, it's because of
some life event. Now, how do you

6
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:20,010
do it? Is it loud? Is it not
allowed? Let's go through it in

7
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:20,520
this video.

8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:35,100
So in order for an investor to
get out of there have your

9
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:39,030
syndication or investment fund,
this normally happens in one of

10
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:42,720
three different ways. And we
like to have this conversation

11
00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:46,020
at the get go, when I start
working with clients and

12
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:49,410
understanding what their what
their structure is going to look

13
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:51,810
like, because it's probably
going to be part of the

14
00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:56,730
paperwork somewhere. So the
three ways that we do it, first

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,190
off, is redemption. So in this
is extremely common in

16
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:07,110
investment funds, especially
open ended funds, or what I call

17
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:11,820
cyclical funds. Every year, they
kind of turn over on a regular

18
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:15,420
interval. So there'll be an
investment period where we say,

19
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:20,310
okay, investors can get all of
their money back at these

20
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:25,020
defined periods. It's in the
PPM, typically, it'll say and

21
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:28,170
said they need a notice or
something like that. Investors

22
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:32,160
need do need to recognize that
this is a revolving fund with

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,190
people's money invested, and we
can't prejudice the other

24
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:38,250
investors by people trying to
get their money out too early.

25
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:41,310
things sometimes take a little
bit longer than the notice

26
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:45,000
period requires. And they have
to understand that will do their

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,880
best to do it. Because they're
your investors, you want to take

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,670
care of them, and they could
very well be in your next fund.

29
00:01:50,970 --> 00:01:54,180
Or they may very well be a
family member, whatever it is,

30
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:58,080
you want to take good care of
your investors. The second way

31
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,820
that investors oftentimes are
exiting funds is what I call a

32
00:02:02,820 --> 00:02:09,210
sponsor buyout. A sponsored
buyout may say something like at

33
00:02:09,210 --> 00:02:13,470
the end of each year, we're
going to send a notice out that

34
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,280
that says this is the this is an
amount of money that's available

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,300
to redeem any member who wants
to withdraw some or all of their

36
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:25,590
money can opt in to this period.
But there's only this certain

37
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:29,100
number of dollars that's
available for it. So our $10

38
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:33,000
million fund is only going to be
setting aside for this year

39
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:39,060
$750,000 For redemptions. If you
want to be redeemed, then you

40
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:43,350
raise your hand, you'd let us
know. And we will then allow you

41
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:48,270
we will buy you out. Now if
there is not enough, if there

42
00:02:48,270 --> 00:02:51,660
are more people who want more
dollars than the fund is made

43
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:55,830
available for this redemption,
then we do it pro rata. So this

44
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:58,890
is also kind of the Warren
Buffett model, I've been told

45
00:02:58,890 --> 00:03:02,250
this is the way that he
originally did his redemptions

46
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:05,910
for his fund early in his
career, and nobody ever took him

47
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:09,120
up on it. But this is a very
good model because people feel

48
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,570
safe and comfortable about it.
But it still gives you as the

49
00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:16,620
sponsor the control over that
over the fun and over those

50
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:21,990
redemptions. The third and final
way for investors to get their

51
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:27,150
money back that often is happens
probably in the vast majority of

52
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:31,950
cases, is what we call a right
of first refusal, or, Hey, I

53
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:36,900
want out, right, here's how it
happens. The member calls up the

54
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:40,650
sponsor and says, Hey, I've just
had this life event, I need to

55
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:45,690
get my cash out. I'm in a really
bad situation, how can I do it?

56
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:50,970
What the best, the best method
to do is, is you tell the

57
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:54,600
member? Okay, look, I think
we'll probably be able to find

58
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960
out, but I can't promise
anything. Let me go to all the

59
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,080
members and see if somebody
wants to buy you out. In the

60
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,320
meantime, you should look and
see if somebody that you know

61
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,480
wants to buy out your piece of
it as well. So they you call up

62
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720
you let every member know, hey,
we've got this, this member will

63
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,530
needs to make an exit. Is that a
life event? Does anybody is

64
00:04:16,530 --> 00:04:21,420
anybody interested in buying his
shares? Or it could that person

65
00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:25,800
could also be you? You saw so
give them a chance in order to

66
00:04:25,980 --> 00:04:29,340
find a replacement. Because at
the end of the day, you want

67
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:33,210
that person who's getting out to
be able to get top dollar. Now

68
00:04:33,210 --> 00:04:36,900
what do I mean by top dollar is
this is now a market driven

69
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,010
activity, they're probably going
to be selling their spot at a

70
00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:45,480
discount, because they're in an
urgent situation. It's just the

71
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,010
way it is. So most of the time,
they'll buy it at 90 cents on

72
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:54,090
the dollar. And that will be the
buyout. Now that's just a very

73
00:04:54,090 --> 00:04:57,840
rough idea on what it is. But
the market itself will take care

74
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:01,470
of it. It's negotiated between
them Unless you are the one

75
00:05:01,470 --> 00:05:05,160
buying and buying them out, do
not get involved in that

76
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,970
negotiating process at all. You
don't want anything to do with

77
00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:12,180
it. You want it to be entirely
between the purchaser and the

78
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:17,640
seller. My name is Tilden
