It's not uncommon for a firm to employ such exemptions when obtaining relatively small amounts of capital from the U.S. and they happy to be in another country. This provides U.S. investors with a wider opportunity to invest abroad, but obviously carries greater risks as well. I've checked with Aluben, and they seem to be on the up-and-up. However, that doesn't mean due diligence shouldn't be done. Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 is the usual set of exemptions relied upon for companies raising capital from among "accredited investors". Accredited investors are usually institutions or very wealthy individuals, or an individual who is going to invest a large sum into such a fund. (If you're going to put $150,000 of your life savings into one basket, especially an offshore one, you probably deserve to lose it all anyways. The SEC, and most sane individuals, assume that someone putting such a large investment into one company has done their due diligence.) Regulation S is what's called a "safe harbor" and, in this case, since the company is based in Canada, makes sense. It would probably be wise to check out the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of where your money is going if you decide to invest abroad.

I will be having someone that works close with me at the SEC. I will be contacting you to take a closer look at your private memorandom. It should be registered with the SEC. They are not supposed to be advertised over the internet. I want you to know that your holding fund came up under a fraud list. I will be having someone that works close with me at the SEC.
