(A) CHECKING/ SAVINGS
Fill out banking information and
payment amount (minimum $100,000).
(B) DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (RSW)
A Defined Benefit Plan is a
retirement plan that can invest in a wide range of securities and investment
products including venture funds. All contributions made to this plan and
subsequently are top line tax deduction for the business whether it is a sole
proprietorship, an LLC, an LLP, a P.C., a C Corp. or an S. Corp. The investment
growth is also tax deferred under the umbrella of the Defined Benefit Plan. For
this purpose NIN Ventures is working closely with Robin S. Weingast &
Associates (or RSW). RSW would help establish this plan using a separate
account with a new plan tax id number and RSW would also prepare the legal plan
trust documents. RSW will calculate the maximum contribution that could be made
to the plan and then the client would invest directly in NIN Ventures as the
plan’s investment.
To invest in NIN Ventures using
your Defined Benefit Plan, you must first sign up to invest in NIN Ventures by
visiting www.nin.vc and verify that you are an accredited investor. Next,
establish a Defined Benefit Plan with Robin S. Weingast & Associates. Once
the plan is established and the contribution is calculated, you can complete
the subscription to the NIN Ventures Private Placement and process your payment
online at www. nin.vc
(C) IRA (ENTRUST)
‘Self-directed’
is a descriptive term that is used to describe how some IRA providers
administer the assets they hold. With a self-directed IRA the client controls
what their IRA is invested in. Self-directed IRAs allow investors to hold
‘alternative’ assets within their tax deferred retirement plan; assets like
private placement in a venture capital fund. Like any IRA investment a
self-directed IRA has built in tax deferred growth and thus an individual will
not pay capital gain tax on the growth of the investment. The return will flow
back to the self-directed IRA and will not be taxable to the account holder. A
self-directed IRA allows for true diversification that is not otherwise
achievable in a standard IRA portfolio. In order to facilitate this NIN
Ventures has teamed up with The Entrust Group, which will help set up an IRA
with the Entrust Group and direct that investment into NIN Ventures Technology
(QP) Fund.
To invest in NIN Ventures using
your IRA account, you must first sign up on www.nin.vc, begin your investment
process, and verify that you are an accredited investor. Then, set up a
self-directed account with The Entrust Group. After setting up and funding your
self-directed IRA Account, you will be able to direct Entrust to invest in NIN
Ventures. Once the investment is made, NIN Ventures will report quarterly
activity to The Entrust Group, and Entrust will then update the IRA and that
change in value will be reflected on your Entrust IRA statement.
(D) BITCOIN (SNAPCARD)
Bitcoin
is emerging as a new form of alternative payment and a global currency. NIN
Ventures understands the significance of this change and has teamed up with
SnapCard to let Bitcoin owners tap into venture capital. We allow Bitcoin
owners attain liquidity via SnapCard in return for investment in the NIN
Ventures Technology (QP) Fund.
To
invest in NIN Ventures using SnapCard, you must first sign up on www.nin.vc and verify that you are an accredited
investor. The next step is to complete the subscription documents, then finally
select payment using SnapCard. Given the daily fluctuations in Bitcoin pricing,
the settlement price will be based on the day of the initial/final close.
Note:
At the moment, NIN Ventures Technology (QP) Fund is only open to accredited US
investors and entities. Dates for both initial/final close will be notified to
investors in advance. The initial close will be when the fund reaches $$10
million and final close at $25 million.
STEP
7: Once you have completed the subscription process and your
documents and payment are verified, you will gain access to our Fund
Performance Reports.
