Retail Alternative Funds
Overview
Faegre Drinker’s retail alternative funds team advises on structuring, formation, and ongoing management of closed-end funds and BDCs utilizing alternative strategies — including interval and tender offer funds — for sponsors, managers, and boards operating in the retail space. We address the regulatory, operational, and compliance challenges unique to retail alternatives, providing guidance on fund governance, risk management, product innovation, and distribution arrangements. Our service to clients includes support for fund launches, compliance assessments, regulatory filings, exemptive relief processes, and exchange listing requirements.
Our experience spans a range of alternative asset classes and strategies, including private equity, credit, real estate, commodities, digital assets, and more. Clients benefit from comprehensive counsel throughout the product life cycle — from initial structuring decisions and shareholder servicing arrangements to ongoing compliance and responses to regulatory exams. We also provide guidance on complex regulatory, tax, and ERISA considerations, enabling clients to bring innovative products to market while managing risk and maintaining compliance in a dynamic industry environment.
