For years, capital raisers used the co-GP model to bring investors into real estate deals and participate in the upside. But that model has changed.

If your only role in a deal is raising capital, and your compensation is based on how much you raise, you may be crossing into broker-dealer territory.

In this conversation, we break down why the traditional co-GP model came under regulatory scrutiny, how fund of funds emerged as a more compliant alternative, and why an entirely new market for independent capital raisers is developing.

You'll learn: • What a fund of funds actually is and how it works • Why traditional co-GP structures became problematic • How transaction-based compensation creates broker-dealer risk • Why the SEC began scrutinizing co-GP arrangements • How fund of funds can provide a compliant path for capital raisers • Why lead sponsors are actively recruiting fund of funds managers • How technology has made launching these structures faster and more accessible • Why fund of funds could reshape the future of real estate capital raising

The opportunity to raise capital for other people's deals hasn't disappeared. Stop guessing. Choose the right structure. Raise capital the right way.
