Assessment
DLP Capital is designed for accredited investors making large private-fund allocations.
The current minimums matter as much as the published return history.
An investor can need:
- $100,000 for the lowest current listed fund;
- $200,000 for several strategies;
- $500,000 for the Housing or Lending Fund.
Fees are also layered:
- 1.25% or 2.00% annual asset-management fees depending on fund;
- a 20% performance fee under applicable preferred-return mechanics.
The key risk guard is:
DLP's historical record of no principal losses is historical performance, not a principal guarantee.
