Investing in Bridge Funds

  • All investors (including Employees) in a fund or other vehicle sponsored by Bridge must be eligible to invest according to applicable securities laws and the requirements of the respective fund documents (i.e., qualify as both an accredited investor and a qualified purchaser). A potential investor can satisfy both requirements by being a “knowledgeable employee.” A knowledgeable employee requires a certain level of seniority and/or involvement in the investment activities of the fund that they seek to qualify for. Qualifying as a knowledgeable employee for one fund doesn’t necessarily qualify them for all funds.
