Whenever we are introduced to clients or groups who are submitting for participation in a private placement program forthe first time, we find that they always have a burning anxiety to ask: What are the returns? In response most brokers (that probably have never successfully completed a transaction) start to talk about very high returns as an act of solicitation to entice the interest of the client. This is illegal. This is disliked by licensed asset managers and is only done by people that are inexperienced and have no personal track record. This is very dangerous and they probably have nothing to lose by behaving in this way as this might even be the first time that they are seeing a complete compliance package. If you are ever in the situation that you are speaking with a party purported to be fiat currency linked to a trade group, be highly cautious if they start telling you the returns prior to submission of documents and compliance approval. Please note: Returns can only be discussed by licensed parties The returns are between principals and will not be disclosed to the brokers or on the open market Even historical figures can only be discussed after compliance as this is seen to be an act of solicitation We normally present the opportunity to the client to start working with our group in a hope that we can contribute to the success of the long term goals of the client. We are all aware that the best things in life are built up steadily over time and not overnight. One should note that there are several methods of transacting and different asset managers use their own preferred trading mechanisms.
