Private Placement Investments

Private Placement Programs

            Private Placement Programs are, in my opinion, one of the best investments possible.  Private Placement Programs (PPP), are very vast in what they can entail, but I’m going to specifically speak about the Private Placement Programs that are Trading Platforms. 

            Private Placement Programs that are Trading Platforms deal with the buying and selling of Euro Medium Term Notes (MTN).  In some cases, other fresh cut notes.  It is not hard to understand what it is that they do to achieve the type of returns in which they get.  From the clients point of view, they are just contracting with the Platform to allow the facilitation of the buying and selling of the MTN’s.  These buy/sell transactions have to be lined up before the trader can access his line of credit.  There are two things that must happen first before the trader can access his line of credit.

1.)    It must be backed by Cash or an instrument in some cases (This is where the client comes in)

2.)    The trader has to have the buy and sell contracts “in hand”.  This is also referred to as “Arbitrage”.

So without the trader having the trade done, he cannot access his line of credit which is cash backed by the client.  This is important from the clients’ point of view, because it eliminates the traditional risk that is associated with other types of investments.

Private Placement Trading? Does it really make any sense?

The thing to remember with all Private Placement Trading is that these are private transaction.  With that being said, private placement trades are not disclosed to the public.  This is even the case if one of the parties in the Private Placement Trade is a publically traded company.  Private Placement Trading is, for all intents and purposes, private party contracts that have the same non-disclosure and confidentiality clauses as would a normal business to business contract would have in them.  Just because one of the parties in the private placement trade may or may not be a publically traded company does not matter when it comes to public disclosure.  The opposite is actually true in many instances that the two parties that are involved in the Private Placement investment are not allowed, per the contract, to disclose what the contract says or anything about the contract in the Private Placement trade, or even their business to business relationship. Welcome to the wonderful world of wholesale investing.  This is in stark contrast to the retail end of the arena, where public disclosure is not only required but is also mandated by law.  Anyone who has the wherewithal to be qualified financially for the private placement investments and private placement trades must follow the rules.  Just because you have the money, doesn’t mean that you will be accepted into the program and can pass compliance.  The really neat thing about private placement investments, at least when it comes to private placement trades,  is that risk are mitigated by the contract and there are no upfront fees required to get a contract and see what would be offered, after being accepted into the Private Placement Program.

I hope this information was useful and if you have any comments or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  Have a great rest of the day and week!

Private Placement Trading – Your questions answered

Private Placement Trading differs in essence from just Private Placement.  Private Placement is a broad description that can mean and be a variety of different things.  For example: Private Placement can be someone who privately invests in a company prior to going public.  They do this through a private placement memorandum.  In contrast to that very large broad meaning, Private Placement Trading is generally defined to a more specific area of wholesale investments.  Private Placement Trading typically is referred to when there is institutional paper being bought and sold at the private level.  Private Placement Trades are lined up ahead of the client actually pledging any funds.  How they do this is that they have a long list of clients that want in on the transaction, so if one does not work out, it is not sweat on the deal because they have someone right behind them to take their place.  Once again, these Private Placement Trades are just that, Private.  Private Placement Trades are also contractually agreed upon and limits risk by doing so.  Another thing to watch for, in Private Placement Trading, is that you should not have to move your funds anywhere.  They stay in the potential clients own account.  This further reduces, if not eliminates, potential loss.

Private Placement Trading – What they won’t tell you

Private Placement Trading is one of the most lucrative areas of the investment realm.  Private Placement, in general, refers to private transactions amount two parties and usually a middle facilitator or intermediary.  Private Placement Trading is a more defined area.  Private Placement Trading is typically dealing with Medium Term Notes (MTN) or something of the sort (paper).  Private Placement Trading is based on the Fractional Reserve Banking system, which all banks are based on.  Private Placement Trading is not hard to understand once you grasp how the fractional reserve banking works and how it is directly tied to Private Placement Trading.  It is what all banking is based on.  The only difference is the scale at what takes place with Private Placement Trading.

After understanding how private placement trading works and how it is tied in with fractional reserve banking, then next obstacle is to figure out how to get into a Private Placement Trading Platform.  This can be the most difficult part of the whole process.  A lot of people say that they have access, but in all reality they do not.  Private Placement Trading is just that, Private!  So it takes time for people to be able to break into the field.  You have to be dealing with the right people that have real access.  At least one person in the group should have personal experience in closing these deals, or you will be spinning your wheels for a long time.  Preferably you will deal with someone that has personally invested in them.  It is not rocket science, but it must be understood up front that the client in a Private Placement trade is applying to be part of the platform.  That means submitting the required documents in order to be considered.

Make it a great rest of the day and week!

Private Placement Investments, What you should know

Private Placement Investments

There are many different types of private placement investments.  Some are private placement memorandums and others are private placement platform trading.  The term private placement investments can vary in range.  The main thing to remember about private placement investments is that they are private!  These are not public transactions such as stock transactions.  This may sound funny, but let me explain a little bit.

Stock transactions are in fact public transactions regulated, here in the US, by the SEC.  Anytime, they can be reviewed by a number of “public” regulators, courts, etc.  In contrast to that, private placement memorandums, which deal with buying shares in a company privately before the company going public, and private placement platforms are 100% private transactions with confidentiality clauses.  These are done through contracts directly between the two parties.  There may be people in the middle of the transaction, brokers etc, but the main thing to realize is that private placement investments are done privately, contractually between the parties involved and not done publically on an exchange.  Regardless of whether you are talking about private placement memorandums or private placement platforms, which is my favorite, you are looking at wholesale investments compared to retail investments such as stock.  Private placement investments will offer much higher returns than what is typically earned in the retail arena.  This is just like buying wholesale verses buying retail.  There are different rules to the arena and must be adhered to and protocol followed.  The minimums to get in are obviously higher. The risk in these types of private placement investments are typically a lot lower with returns a lot higher.

If you would like to contact me about any of this, please feel more than free to do so.  My email address is tssprivateplacement@gmail.com and my telephone is 407-341-1162.  I wish you an awesome day!

Best Trading Platform, How they work and what you should understand

Below I describe some additional things to take in and consider about private placement programs and what I consider to be the best platform.  These are rules that the majority, if not all of the trading platforms, with legitimate programs, abide by. I want to share these with you so that you can be aware of them before wasting any of your time by not following them.   These programs are not for everyone, and not everyone will ultimately qualify even if they have the financial resources required to enter into a private placement program. Ultimately if you follow the rules, you will have the best chance of getting a contract offered to you by one of the best trading platforms.

1.  Clients must first prove that they are qualified, not the other way around. Until the traders and trading banks accept the client, nothing happens.

2.  An applicant should never underestimate what the trading entities know about him. Failure to provide full disclosure will summarily disqualify the disingenuous.

3.  None of the customary standards and practices that apply to conventional business, investing and finance applies to these programs.

4. Not only do the funds have to be on deposit in a top rated bank; the bank must be in an acceptable Western European or US jurisdiction. If not, the funds have to be moved to such a jurisdiction or a suitable bank in an acceptable venue must guarantee them with full responsibility.

5.  Submission of application documents to more than one management group at a time is termed, “shopping.” If a prospect “shops,” he can expect that this fact shall be quickly disseminated among management groups who maintain close communication, and he shall be accepted by none – rejected by all.

6.  The practices, procedures and rules are determined by the program management, licensed traders and trading banks. It is their decision as to whom to accept and whom to reject. Contract terms, yields, schedules, etc., are made to fit their needs and schedules and not the caprices or demands of the candidate.

The normal protocol for these types of private placement programs is to have the potential candidate sign a non-solicitation agreement upfront.  This must be done before any legitimate person associated in any way with a trading platform or private placement program will speak with you or answer any questions no matter how minute.  It is more or less a formality, but this whole process is about protocol.  If protocol can be followed, the candidate has the best chance of getting in a platform trade with a legitimate trading platform.

If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to contact me at tssprivateplacement@gmail.com or at 407-341-1162.  Per protocol, I will send you a non-solicitation document to return and then we can speak or have direct email correspondence.  I hope you found this insightful and have a great day!

Best Regards,

Private Placement Trading – What the big guys don’t want you to know

What Trump & Buffet won’t tell you: “How to Maximize your Return & Eliminate Risk”

There are many things in life that are kept hidden from common public knowledge for one reason or another, but ultimately they are there if you do some research and find them. The number one thing that is not readily known is that there are “retail investments” and “wholesale investments”. The majority of the public only knows about “retail investments”. The character of retail investments are lower returns and sometimes even higher risk. The reason that some of these retail investments are higher risk is that they shed off so little return that you are actually losing money when you compute inflation into the equation. The reason that they give you such little return is that they say your principle is safe. Ask yourself this question: “How safe is my money, when it is actually losing money consistently when inflation is taken into account”? Another question to ask is “How much of my principle is at risk”? Let’s take a look at just some of the many “retail investments”.

1. Stocks

2. Mutual Funds

3. CD’s (Credit Deposits)

4. T-Bills and T-Bonds

Now the question should be what are “wholesale investments”? Wholesale investments in and of themselves are highly protected in nature. The reason the previous statement is true is because the majority of the wholesale investments are private or “by invitation only”. They are peer to peer or small groups of networks. You have to know someone who has access to the wholesale investments in order for you to have access to them. There are various reasons for this. One, of many, is that there are a lot of regulations that are placed on investments deemed “public worthy” by the SEC and various other regulatory agencies. These are your retail investments that everyone knows about. The people that have access to the desired wholesale investments have no desire to put up with regulatory agencies and to be honest, don’t have the time. The regulatory agencies are fine with these wholesale investments operating, just as long as the people running these types of investments don’t advertize or solicit for business. So these are the rules that everyone plays by. Everyone is happy, except for the general public which is not given the full picture of all of the different types of investment vehicles which are available. The characteristics of wholesale investments is high rates of return, paid weekly, monthly, and sometimes yearly depending on what the investment is and are by invitation only. Most of these wholesale investments have very little risk and the best ones have zero risk. That is right, let me repeat myself, the best wholesale investments eliminate risk. Really, the only downside to these wholesale investments is that there are mandatory minimum investment amounts. Generally speaking $100k USD is the minimum. The majority of wholesale investments source the funds as well. This is for the protection of everyone involved. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of wholesale investments that are out there:

1. Private Placement Memorandums- Allows you to invest in a private company before they go public on a stock exchange by doing an IPO (Initial Public Offering).

2. Corporate Investment Programs- Consist of contracting with financial institutions. Everything from returns to funds placement is contracted. This particular investment is one of the best wholesale investments available. There are two reasons this is the case. It has an extremely high rate of return and risk is eliminated due to the contractual component of this type of investment.

3. Private Managed Accounts- These are different than public managed accounts, as they do not advertize and are only available through word of mouth, usually an intermediary.

4. 506 Regulation D- Another form of Private Placement Memorandums

5. Syndications- These types of investments are different almost each and every time they are put together. The main thing to know is that they are temporary in nature and work for a common goal.

Unless you have already invested in some of these, likely you do not have access to them. There are many different ways to get involved with them, but the easiest is to know someone that is already involved with them. Though this might sound like an impossible mission, I can personally tell you it is not. The best and most effective way to do this is to use an intermediary, private placement individual, or referring broker. Many times all three are one in the same, meaning that they all do the same thing. These are people that have access to these wholesale investments and would be able to get you into them. There are different protocols to follow when getting into these different types of wholesale investments. Standard documents before even discussing any particulars are:

1. Non-Solicitation Agreement- This basically states that you were not solicited and that you will not go out and solicit for business.

2. NCND (Non-Circumvent & Non-Disclosure)- States that you will not go around your intermediary and that you will not disclose the confidential information.

3. Request for Info Pack- Simply asked some questions about how the client is going to go into the program and is used to see if the client is qualified to enter into a program.

By submitting these documents, it will get you in the door. After that, there are some compliance departments that will look further into your background and make sure that the funds you have available were not made by any illegal activity and that you do not have ties to people with questionable backgrounds . Remember that these investments are reserved for the best of the best and that if you are fortunate enough to be a part of them, you have to abide and play by the rules.

Some cautions to wrap this up. Believe it or not, there are many individuals that say they have access to these wholesale investments but don’t. Sticking to the following guidelines will keep your funds safe and out of harm’s way.

1. Never wire your funds anywhere! A lot of dishonest intermediaries try to get you to wire funds to them; they then enter into these wholesale investments, and keep the majority of the returns only giving the actual investor a small portion of them. The only exception is for managed funds. Even then, ask for references for the fund, track records, and a contractual guarantee of returns. Any legitimate managed fund should be able to provide this upon request.

2. Have your lawyer review any contracts! A lot of these wholesale investments are contract driven. This is very good as it provides contractual guarantees. With that being said, you need to have an attorney that understands what you are doing and what sort of program you are getting into. Most of the time, nothing is negotiable in these types of investments. It is an all or nothing type of investment. You still should know what you’re getting into by having competent legal counsel to lay it out for you. Also, you should only deal with intermediaries that encourage you to do this. At the least, they should not have a problem with it.

With all that being said, I hope that this report was insightful. Remember that the really neat thing about the contract driven investment, which most of the wholesale investments are, is that you have absolutely no risk and no commitment until those contracts are signed. Nobody makes any money until the contracts are reviewed and signed. Anybody trying to get you to do something else, probably does not have your best interested at heart. If you stick to the guidelines above, it will keep you away from most of the dangers associated with dishonest and unethical people that are out there. Just make sure that you understand that there are great investments out there that are not available to the general public. You just have to find the right people that are “in the know” and have access!

If you would like some additional details on any of this, please feel more than free to call me at 407-341-1162 or shoot me an email at TssPrivatePlacement@gmail.com and I will be more than happy to speak with you.  Please note that this is not a solicitation for any business and we do require that you sign a non-solicitation agreement before any confidential documents can be released.

Private Placement Investment Scams?

Are Private Placement Investments Scams?  Find out the truth and if it is really worth your time!  All the answers to your questions can really be summed up quickly.

The answer to the question is no, Private Placement is not a scam.  What is a scam is the people that say that they have access to either the Memorandum side or my favorite, which is the Platform side. Simply said, these are corporate investment programs or platforms that offer contracts directly from the bank and do not require that the investor/cash providers’ funds be moved out of their own account.  Returns are significant and are paid on a weekly basis.  There should be no fees charged.  The only way that any money is made is if the contract goes into trade.  Anyone legitimately dealing with these will not have any problem with having the contract reviewed by the cash providers’ attorney.  The contract states the terms and really is the only thing that matters.  Furthermore, this is a no risk investment.  The reason that I can say that is that the funds never move out of the investors account.  If anyone that you are dealing with asks you to wire funds or do anything different then what is described here, they are doing something wrong.  This is whether they are knowingly doing it or not.  These are exclusive investments and there are not all that many people that have true access to them.  Please just watch yourself when dealing with people who claim that they have access to these.

If you would like real, no b.s., facts and the opportunity to get in on these different programs, please feel free to contact me.  I am open as a potential partner.
