    VCOC: The Private Fund ERISA Escape Hatch

    VCOC: The Private Fund ERISA Escape Hatch最佳语录

    “

    The VCOC exemption is essentially the government acknowledging that venture capitalists are more like business operators than traditional money managers. If you want to avoid being treated as a plan asset manager, you need to show that you're actively involved in managing the businesses you invest in, not just passively providing capital.
