Typical architecture

A 'Feeder' is simply a funnel. It collects money from a specific jurisdiction or tax status and routes it into the main fund ('Master'), which holds the assets.

Warning! Tax traps

Why you need feeders

Accepting foreign capital directly into a standard US Fund is dangerous. It exposes your LPs to US tax liabilities they want to avoid.

The ECI Trap (Non-US Investors)

Problem

If a foreign investor receives income "Effectively Connected" to a US trade/business (ECI), they must file a US tax return. They hate this.

Solution

Use a Cayman "Blocker" corporation. The Blocker pays the US tax (21%), and the investor receives a clean dividend. No US tax return needed.

The UBTI Trap (Endowments)

Problem

US Tax-Exempts (Foundations, Pension Funds) are taxed on "Unrelated Business Taxable Income" (UBTI) if you use leverage/debt.

Solution

An Offshore Feeder acts as a shield, converting the income type so their tax-exempt status remains safe.
