Detailed Structure
- Fund holding requirements: The fund needs to have at least 20% of its assets in "non-publicly traded" securities or real-estate.
- For public exchange funds, at least 7 years have to elapse between when an investor deposits their stock and when the basket of stocks is available for them to sell without realizing a step up in basis (paying taxes). However, this is not an issue with private stock exchange funds as the point is diversification, not tax deference.
- Liquidity: Public funds are generally not marginable. Private funds increase a participants odds of liquidity.

Famous quotes containing the words detailed and/or structure:
“... every event has had its cause, and nothing, not the least wind that blows, is accident or causeless. To understand what happens now one must find the cause, which may be very long ago in its beginning, but is surely there, and therefore a knowledge of history as detailed as possible is essential if we are to comprehend the past and be prepared for the future.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
