An investor felt he was missing out by not investing in venture capital. He was presented with an opportunity to become a partner of an investment fund. We helped to evaluate the fund’s merits and fee structures and it helped our client come to the conclusion that this particular fund would not suit his investment style and needs. This discovery further helped our client focus on the types of investments best suited for him and without fear of missing out on opportunities.
