Private Investments: Ground Rules

Allocation Process

Once an offering is closed, WRH+Co allocates the offering to eligible investors who have placed bids. If the demand for an offering exceeds availability, WRH+Co allocates to investors based on the following criteria: amount of assets in WRH+Co accounts, whether an investor is a Qualified Purchaser, and the historical relationship of the investor with the firm.

It is not the policy of WRH+Co to allocate stock on a first-come, first-served basis, and the time your Offer to Buy is received will not influence the allocation decision.
 

Additional Information

  • No person will be accepted as a purchaser prior to the closing of an offering.
     
  • WRH+Co reserves the right to reject any Offer to Buy, in whole or in part, or to allot any prospective purchaser a smaller allocation than requested by such prospective purchaser. Any representation to the contrary is unauthorized and may not be relied upon.
     
  • The portion of each deal that we offer is at the discretion of WRH+Co.
     
  • In order to invest in WR Hambrecht + Co Private Investments, including venture, mezzanine and buyout opportunities, please access “Getting Started” for instructions.
     
  • Private placements to Accredited Investors or institutions are exempt from SEC registration requirements and are unlike sales of securities made through general public solicitations (like IPOs) which are required to be registered by federal and state securities laws.
