The Diversified Community Investment Fund (DCIF): A Legal BreakdownWednesday, April 19th, 2023, 11:00am Pacific | 2pm Eastern
A "diversified community investment fund" (or DCIF) is a type of community-scale fund that invests primarily in real estate but also invests in local businesses, and can do so with investment capital raised publicly from within the fund’s own community, including non-accredited investors. It can distribute profits to its community investors, thereby creating a wealth-building opportunity for everyone, while contributing to a more vigorous local economy. In this webinar, you’ll hear a legal perspective on the DCIF and how it complies with applicable laws, including the Investment Company Act of 1940. This free webinar would be great for attorneys and other professional advisors who are interested in learning about this strategy. |
