CommonWealth Capital Advisors - Architects of Finance

Dear Fellow Financier,

Thank you for the opportunity to present our capital-raising services, specifically to create and manage one or a series of Venture / Hedge Funds ("Funds"). Please take a few minutes to read this portion of our website thoroughly, as it outlines the most successful ways to raise capital for privately held Funds, whether you wish to stay private or go public. This area explains, in a very basic way, how we assist start-up and early-stage Venture / Hedge Funds in raising substantial amounts of capital using the techniques of Wall Street investment banks.

As former Wall Street financiers, we have many capital sources looking to fund "Quality Deal Flow", primarily investment banks - broker dealers, angel groups, hedge funds and private equity firms. Our job is to create and supply that Quality Deal Flow. If you believe your Fund(s) can become that Quality Deal Flow, then we are interested in discussing a relationship further.

Suffice it to say, there is an unlimited number of ways to seek capital. However, there are only a few ways to capitalize a Fund with substantial amounts of capital, while maintaining the vast majority of common equity ownership and voting control.

Clearly, we cannot design or illustrate an optimum capitalization plan for your Venture / Hedge Fund(s) in a dissertation on a website; however, whether you have been through the capital raising process or not, we are sure that you will appreciate our process.

If you have not been through the capitalization process before, or even if you have, we're sure you will appreciate reading: "The Secrets of Wall Street - Raising Capital for Start-Up and Early Stage Companies."

Most of our clients have enjoyed success as Venture / Hedge fund managers and or directors, securities or commodities traders and have capitalized their asset pool with their own money and or limited outside investor funds. Most see a need to re-organize their financial and operational structures as the administrative burdens of managing multiple asset classes with differing sets of investors are becoming heavy. Most have now come to the juncture where their track records are very good, and they have earned the right to manage large pools of assets -- cash and Venture / Hedge assets with full discretionary authority. Many are ready to set-up an operation where they can access capital quickly to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, without the problem of feeling the pressure to invest for the sake of investing or just because there's too much cash setting idle, which eventually will affect their return performance. If any of these aspects sound like your company's situation, then we have the expertise to assist you in achieving your goals.

Most start-up or early stage Funds should capitalize a Management Company first. The Management Company will then contract with one or more in a series of Funds that it creates, to manage the assets of those Funds. Generally, raising $500,000 to $1,000,000 in seed capital for the Management Company is sufficient to market and sell the shares of a Fund. The seed capital amount is normally dependent on the size of the Fund(s) and should represent no less than 2% of the Funds' proposed raise. Need $50,000,000 for your Fund? Consider raising $1,000,000 in seed capital for the Fund Management Company. The Management Company then "Lends" the Fund a portion of the seed capital, to enable the fund to establish itself as an entity that can qualify for raising capital through the issuance of securities. The Management Company contracts with the Fund for an annual Management Fee with a share in the net income, net capital gains on asset sales, as well as trading commissions where appropriate. Once the Fund is capitalized, the Management Company is paid back the loan plus any accrued Fees it may incur.

The fee structure to the Fund Management Company for managing the Venture / Hedge Fund can be a combination of any number of various factors, but the industry norm is as previously mentioned.

When organizing the Venture / Hedge Funds one should be mindful of industry norms to increase the probability of current capital attainment, as well as setting up each in light of becoming the "Quality Deal Flow" that Wall Street seeks.

** Commonwealth Capital Advisors, LLC does not solicit or sell securities for its clients, but it will assist its clients in managing the capital raising process by assisting in the marketing effort and training bona fide employees of the client firm.

When taking a company or fund public, we outsource all legal and accounting (audit) work to qualified securities counsel and SEC compliant accounting firms. We engage in underwriting negotiations with SEC registered broker dealers as lead negotiator. We administer and pay for the entire process, as part of our fee.

Our fiduciary duty lies with our client firms.

We have designed our contingency fee schedule, so we are equally committed with our client firms to a successful capital-raising effort. Our client firms make progressive payments as we perform certain securities offering document production, filing and securities sales training functions and as they raise the capital. Although we cannot take a commission from the sale of securities, our profits from securities offering document production and advisory fees are dependent upon the successful capital raising efforts of our client firms. Our "real" money is made when we take a Fund public. By assisting you in maintaining the vast majority of common equity ownership and voting control of the Management Company, throughout the entire capitalization process, we earn stock, a 3 to 5% fully diluted equity stake in the Management Company, once we take your first Fund public.

We can help your Management Company raise as much capital as necessary for one or more Funds on an "as needed" basis. You may choose to do this through a series of securities offerings to support the creation and operation of an "in-house" Finance Department. Whether privately or publicly held, we can assist your Management Company with the creation and marketing of "in-demand" securities to raise capital.

Clients of Wall Street investment banks use this process. It is a logical progression of steps to ensure that you always maintain a relative position of strength when competing for capital, as well as, the vast majority of equity ownership and voting control. These are the precious elements that most business owners give up too early in the capital raising process. We can cite case study, after case study, of entrepreneurs who have successfully raised capital using various parts of this process because these are the same fundamental processes used on Wall Street. Their successes will not necessarily equate to your success, because without your belief in the logic of the process, dedication and commitment to the effort, the case studies are moot.

If you choose us to represent your Management Company as its Financial Advisor, we will engineer a capitalization plan and a series of securities offerings with marketable deal structures that will give your Management Company and it's Fund(s) the highest probability of capital attainment possible. How can we make such a claim? Because our process is simply the Wall Street process, re-engineered for Main Street companies. In addition, if you need an SEC Registered/NASD Member Broker-Dealer to sell your Fund's securities for you, we can assist you by sponsoring your Fund at the next National Investment Bankers Quarterly Capital Conference.

Our seasoned experts offer in-depth experience in business organization, deal structuring, securities offering document production, and capital procurement through the issuance of securities, matching the needs of any business structure in any sector.

We look forward to serving your Management Company as Financial Advisor. If you have an interest in executing our Investment Banking Advisory Services ("IBAS") Agreement, please email us at support@commonwealthcapital.com to set a mutually convenient time for a conference call.
