Arrow Capital Portfolio Manager and Bay Street legend Veronika Hirsch weighs in on new regulations that will open up hedge funds to a wider segment of investors.
They say if you plug away at anything long enough, you're bound to achieve greatness in at least one person's eye. But Veronika Hirsch has done more than that - many of Canada's financiers consider her to be an extremely competent and consistently effective professional, so much so that her reputation for tenaciousness has achieved pseudo-celebrity status.
There is no regulatory minimum purchase amount requirement for investments in a Fund made by investors who qualify under the Accredited Investor
Exemption. However, the minimum initial purchase amount established by the Manager for "accredited investors" is $25,000 (or such lesser amount that
the Manager may accept from time to time).
The criteria for qualification as an "accredited investor" is defined in National Instrument 45-106 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and is
set out in the Subscription Instructions of the Investment Application.
(2) Minimum Amount Exemption (not available to individuals)
The minimum amount for an initial investment in a Fund made by an investor purchasing under the Minimum Amount Exemption is $150,000 in each
province and territory.
