- Q: Is EB-5 a truly passive investment?
-
The EB-5 regulations require involvement in management or policy making. The regulations deem a limited partner in a limited partnership that conforms to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act as sufficiently engaged in the EB-5 enterprise. However, the Uniform Limited Partnership, adopted by most states of the United States, prohibits the limited partner from actively participating in management.
On one hand you must be involved in management or policy making, while on the other hand you can't. We resolve this contradiction by granting the limited partners the right, as a group, to oust the general partner for "cause" and to suggest or recommend issues of overall policy. Furthermore, our limited partnerships complies comply with the Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
