In any case it is important to keep in mind the general solicitation rules in the jurisdictions the manager is reaching out to investors. In the U.S. for Reg D offerings unless the fund is complying with Rule 506(c), managers should ensure that anyone acting on behalf of the fund does not send out emails to groups in a manner that may constitute general solicitation.  General guidance is that managers should solicit for investment only those persons they have a pre-existing relationship substantive enough to evaluate that such person is an accredited investor.
