Capital Markets Consulting
Raise capitalwith conviction.
American Elm collaborates with fund managers to establish — or improve — a sustainable business model, build their unique corporate brand, and diversify their sources of equity while streamlining costs that may otherwise affect investor returns.
Sponsor Challenges
Raising under Rule 506(b) or 506(c) is a distribution problem as much as a legal one.
Access to Investors
Broadening distribution beyond existing networks — reaching RIAs, retail broker-dealers, and institutions with a message that resonates.
Structure & Cost Discipline
Choosing the right vehicle — Reg D, BDC, interval fund, or publicly registered LP — while streamlining costs that otherwise affect investor returns.
Diligence Infrastructure
Offering documents, due-diligence processes, and portals that stand up to sophisticated intermediary review.
Compliant Marketing
Investor presentations, webinars, and communication tools that engage potential investors and satisfy compliance review.
Our Services
From structure to distribution, one coordinated effort.
Distribution Consulting
We advise fund managers on targeted messaging, enhanced distribution channels, and broader access to the retail market via RIAs. We collaborate with management to develop sales teams that communicate the offering and its benefits effectively — providing feedback to ensure clarity in presenting the investment opportunity.
Product Structuring
Extensive expertise structuring Reg D offerings, BDCs, interval funds, and publicly registered LPs — with guidance on the most effective structure for your target market, whether you are raising under Rule 506(b) or generally soliciting under Rule 506(c).
Due Diligence & Marketing Materials
Comprehensive review of manager and offering documents — PPM, LPA, and subscription agreements. We help build a due-diligence process and user-friendly online portal for RIAs, retail BDs, and institutions, and collaborate on compliance-approved marketing materials: investor presentations, webinars, and communication tools.
Referrals & Introductions
Introductions to key industry contacts — legal counsel, fund administrators and transfer agents, industry organizations, and firms with whom American Elm has time-tested relationships.
