PRIVATE FUND DISCLOSURE
Bluestone’s private funds are being offered in reliance on exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and are not required to comply with specific disclosure requirements that apply to registration under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state. The SEC has not passed upon the merits of or given its approval to any of Bluestone’s private funds, the terms of any offering, or the accuracy or completeness of any offering materials. A registration statement has not been filed for any of Bluestone’s private funds.

Interests in private funds are not typically listed on an exchange and are subject to legal restrictions on transfer and resale. Investors should not assume they will be able to sell their securities. Private funds are speculative investments and are not suitable for all investors. Investing involves risk, including the risk of loss of one’s entire investment. See the private offering documents for each respective private fund for complete information and risk factors.

Only accredited investors and qualified clients will be admitted as a limited partner to a Bluestone fund. Please refer to the SEC’s qualification requirements as they pertain to minimum income and net worth thresholds, among others.
