What is the appropriate response to a network target asking about funds without violating solicitation rules?

Dear all I have a question. If one of your network targets you have sent an email to provide thesis feedback asks ‘ Do you already have money in your fund’ what do you respond whilst avoiding general solicitation rules??

Offer to get on a call. You need to have a pre-existing relationship and to ensure that they are wealthy before officially pitching them. If you are just getting feedback from a friend, then that is fine.
