What you will find

For a group investing in businesses within a particular sector or region, reserving capital preserves choices after the first investment. A company might present a convincing expansion opportunity, seek a round on unfavorable terms or face an urgent cash shortage. These situations require different responses. Calling all of them portfolio support may simplify a presentation, but it obscures differences in purpose, risk and authority.

01

A reserve starts with a decision rule

A follow-on reserve supports additional investments in existing portfolio companies under defined criteria. A contingency allocation covers specified unexpected needs, potentially including extraordinary vehicle expenses or an exceptional intervention in a company. The operating budget pays for monitoring, accounting and other contracted services. Separating these functions prevents money needed to maintain the structure from being presented as available investment capital.

The central question extends beyond how much to retain: who can commit the money, on what evidence and with what opportunity to decline? A reserve without rules can become an informal promise of rescue. An excessively rigid reserve can block a defensible decision. The arrangement must accommodate new information while preventing pressure from one company from replacing the mandate investors approved.

This article addresses how a group organizes its decisions; it does not prescribe how individuals should allocate their personal assets. All amounts are hypothetical arithmetic examples. The allocations provide no guarantee of approval, repayment, profitability, liquidity or recovery of principal. Careful governance and reserved cash can preserve options, but investors may still lose all the capital they invest.

02

Establish the legal framework before pooling cash

Micro VC and investor syndicate describe approaches to organizing investment, but neither label settles the legal classification. Investors might decide individually, use a dedicated vehicle or participate in a structure governed by specific rules. Bringing people together, appointing a leader and opening a spreadsheet does not automatically create an authorized investment fund. A pooled arrangement needs an appropriate legal structure where applicable.

That distinction changes what a reserve means. If a vehicle owns the capital, its documents must permit retention, capital calls, investments and expenses. If participants invest directly, a shared intention to participate in later rounds does not create pooled cash. Records should distinguish an opportunity presented, interest expressed, a formal commitment and money actually available. Each stage supports a different degree of reliance.

The instrument also matters. Equity, convertibles, loans and receivables create different rights and risks. Equity does not automatically require repayment; a loan can specify maturity while retaining default risk. Existing eligible receivables differ from hoped-for sales. A donation to a nonprofit creates neither an equity interest nor a promised financial return. Group records must preserve these distinctions when describing both reserves and transactions.

Legal analysis should precede invitations, fundraising and circulation of offers. Public securities distribution and regulated financial activities require appropriate structures and providers under Brazilian rules; technology or a CNAE business activity code is not permission. A business organized as a MEI cannot admit equity partners while remaining a MEI. These issues can change the transaction, its cost or its feasibility before any cash is committed.

03

Write a mandate that constrains the leader's discretion

The leader's mandate should turn a broad investment thesis into observable boundaries. Investing in a region might mean a local headquarters, substantial operations or service to a specified market. Without a definition, a follow-on could finance a strategic shift participants never intended to support. The reserve must not become implicit permission to expand the approved sector, business stage, geography or type of instrument.

Authority to request information, negotiate indicative terms and prepare recommendations differs from authority to commit capital, sign contracts or release payments. The mandate should identify delegated powers, decisions requiring collective approval and matters requiring each investor's individual consent. Commercial discussions should not create obligations before the authorized decision maker approves the terms. Participants also need to understand when an indicative proposal becomes a binding commitment.

The mandate should establish company exposure limits, the period for using reserves and procedures for exceptions. Exposure must include cumulative investment, rather than just the next payment. A company receiving a small initial amount can absorb successive investments until it becomes the group's largest source of risk. Any approval should show that cumulative effect and explain whether the proposed amount remains within the applicable limit.

Accountability and replacement arrangements matter as well. The leader should document rejected proposals, disclosed conflicts and decisions made under delegated authority. A replacement must be able to identify commitments and payment deadlines if the leader becomes unavailable. Management, success and transaction fees require explicit disclosure because they can influence preferences for investing, retaining cash or extending negotiations. Their effect belongs in the decision process.

04

Separate reserves by purpose without inventing available money

A useful arrangement distinguishes capital for initial investments, follow-on reserves, contingency money and the structure's operating budget. These may be accounting or management categories within the chosen legal arrangement; four separate bank accounts are not necessarily required. What matters is identifying how much exists, who owns it and what authority permits its use. The same real cannot count as available in two categories.

Follow-on reserves finance new investment decisions. Contingency money needs an especially clear scope: it might cover an extraordinary vehicle expense, action to preserve legal rights or an approved emergency investment. If all these uses are permitted, internal rules should establish priorities. Otherwise, an operational crisis within the structure could compete with a portfolio company's need for cash without an agreed basis for choosing.

The operating budget should include foreseeable legal services, accounting, controls, monitoring and closure costs appropriate to the arrangement. Treating recurring expenses as surprises understates the cost presented to investors. Where an expense is uncertain, use an estimate and an identified allowance. Explain which services are contracted and which remain assumptions, so that uncertainty in costs is visible before investment capital is allocated elsewhere.

Transfers between categories should require a recorded decision. If follow-on money pays an extraordinary expense, investors must see that less remains for future rounds. Recording the transfer prevents reports from preserving the appearance of an untouched reserve. It also enables comparison between the original plan and actual use, helping the group identify an inadequate budget rather than repeatedly absorbing costs through unexplained reallocations.

05

A complete example of budget and exposure

Consider a hypothetical group whose appropriate investment structure has received R$ 1,000,000 in full. Its approved budget allocates R$ 600,000 to six initial investments of R$ 100,000, R$ 250,000 to follow-ons, R$ 100,000 to contingencies and R$ 50,000 to operating costs. These allocations total R$ 1,000,000. To isolate the arithmetic, the example excludes revenue, cash earnings, distributions and expenses beyond those specified.

Fictional companies A, B, C, D, E and F each receive the same initial investment. Equal amounts do not imply equal risk: one might depend on concentrated customers, another on licensing and another on industrial execution. Equal initial payments simply make the calculation easy to verify. The group neither promises to divide follow-on reserves equally nor guarantees any founder a second investment.

Subsequently approved follow-ons total R$ 140,000 for A, R$ 70,000 for B and R$ 40,000 for D, exhausting the R$ 250,000 follow-on reserve. Contingency money funds a R$ 40,000 emergency investment in C. Operating costs consume the planned R$ 50,000. After this sequence, the group has invested R$ 890,000 in companies, spent R$ 50,000 on the structure and retained R$ 60,000 in cash.

Cumulative investment is R$ 240,000 in A, R$ 170,000 in B, R$ 140,000 in C, R$ 140,000 in D and R$ 100,000 each in E and F. Together, these amounts equal R$ 890,000. They represent historical disbursements, not current valuations. The example includes no exit, profit or capital recovery. The remaining R$ 60,000 remains governed by the rules for use and closure.

06

Track cash through time as well as through the budget

The budget must work as a payment sequence. In the first month of the hypothetical investment cycle, three initial investments consume R$ 300,000 and initial costs consume R$ 20,000, leaving R$ 680,000. In month four, the other three initial investments use R$ 300,000, leaving R$ 380,000. A planned R$ 10,000 expense in month six reduces cash to R$ 370,000. Follow-on reserves remain untouched.

In month nine, A receives R$ 80,000 from follow-on reserves, leaving R$ 290,000. The R$ 40,000 emergency investment in C in month ten reduces cash to R$ 250,000. B receives R$ 70,000 in month twelve, leaving R$ 180,000. That balance comprises R$ 100,000 still allocated to follow-ons, R$ 60,000 to contingencies and R$ 20,000 to future operating costs.

In month eighteen, the remaining R$ 100,000 of follow-on money is paid: R$ 60,000 to A and R$ 40,000 to D. The group also pays its final R$ 20,000 of budgeted costs. Cash ends at R$ 60,000, entirely classified as contingency money. Every payment reduces cash once. Bank statements, contracts and management records should reconcile to this sequence, including payments occurring in the same period.

Approval and payment create different positions. If B's R$ 70,000 is already contractually committed, it remains in the bank until paid but is unavailable for another transaction. Reports should distinguish bank balance, outstanding obligations and uncommitted availability. Forecasting all three prevents a substantial bank balance from being mistaken for permission to write another investment cheque. Money awaiting payment already has a contractual destination.

07

Size follow-on reserves using explicit assumptions

No universal reserve percentage suits every micro VC or syndicate. Requirements depend on portfolio size, expected intervals between rounds, possible investment amounts and negotiated rights. A regional thesis involving businesses dependent on a few buyers may produce simultaneous requests. A sector exposed to the same contracting cycle may also need cash precisely when several companies appear weakest. These shared pressures can undermine assumptions that needs will arrive separately.

One approach is to identify potential follow-on events company by company, recording a likely window, an investment range and necessary conditions. The purpose is to expose incompatible demands rather than predict precisely. If six companies could each request R$ 100,000 in the same window, a R$ 250,000 reserve cannot fund them all. Selection, co-investment, smaller commitments or acceptance of dilution becomes necessary.

Compare scenarios with few acceptable opportunities, several simultaneous rounds and delayed funding needs accompanied by extended operating costs. Calculate committed cash and remaining room in each. Probabilities can assist if clearly identified as estimates. Multiplying a cheque size by a subjective probability does not establish a likely contractual obligation, nor does the resulting average provide enough cash for the most demanding scenario.

A right to participate proportionately in a round does not determine the reserve budget on its own. Exercising it may require more exposure than the group intends. Before promising to maintain ownership, estimate the cost and check the contract. Accepting dilution may fit concentration limits; partial participation may retain a meaningful position while preserving cash. Either choice requires an economic decision, rather than automatic exercise of a right.

08

Approve the next investment as a new decision

A follow-on proposal must explain why additional capital merits investment on the terms now available. The initial investment establishes the relationship but does not justify the next one automatically. Compare the previously funded plan with actual execution and identify changes. Strong operational progress can coexist with an excessive price. A lower valuation can still be unattractive if the underlying business model has become less convincing.

In the example, A's first R$ 80,000 follow-on might depend on signed contracts, demonstrated delivery capacity and a verifiable expansion budget. The later R$ 60,000 requires another decision and updated evidence. Receiving the earlier payment does not make the later one obligatory. This separation allows the recommendation to change if growth, margins or capital requirements depart from the plan, subject to any binding commitments already made.

The assessment should separate documented facts, management assumptions and analyst inferences. Recorded revenue, money received in a bank account and commercial expectations are different information. Proposals are not contracts, and contracts may contain cancellation rights or conditions. Evidence becomes useful when connected to the proposed use of funds: what capacity the investment finances, which risks remain and how long cash could sustain operations.

Present the option of declining as well. It may cause dilution, reduced influence or a total loss of the earlier investment and still be the least unfavorable choice. Investing new money merely to avoid acknowledging an earlier mistake confuses two decisions. Compare the incremental effect of the next payment with retaining that capital, without assuming the previous investment will be recovered in either case.

09

Handle emergencies without making urgency the investment criterion

Contingency money addresses events outside ordinary follow-on planning, but it still requires analysis. A claim that a company will close within days establishes urgency, not the usefulness of an investment. Before discussing the amount, identify the cause of the deficit, upcoming obligations, available resources and what changes after payment. The decision must connect the proposed money with a credible operational response.

In the example, C requests R$ 40,000 after a cash timing mismatch. Hypothetical approval depends on verifying amounts receivable, payment deadlines and an operating adjustment that reduces recurrence. The payment is an emergency equity investment, rather than a loan with presumed repayment. Classifying it under contingencies identifies its budget source; it does not reduce economic risk or establish a right to recover the amount.

If analysis shows C needs R$ 140,000 to get through the period, an isolated R$ 40,000 may merely postpone interruption. The group needs to know what other investors have actually committed and the conditions for their payments. Verbal expectations of co-investment do not complete the funding plan. Payment may need to depend on confirmation that the minimum financing required will be available.

After using R$ 40,000, the contingency allocation has R$ 60,000 left. The original R$ 100,000 must no longer be described as available protection. Another emergency must be assessed against the reduced balance and remaining obligations. Repeated exceptional needs also warrant review: they may be foreseeable features of portfolio companies' business models, requiring changes to future selection, monitoring and budgeting rather than repeated emergency treatment.

10

Establish decision rules that work under pressure

Rules should identify who proposes, analyzes, votes and executes. A committee might approve investments within limits, while mandate changes require a broader decision. Meeting quorum and approval requirements should be clear, including whether votes follow individuals or economic interests. The mechanism must align with the structure's documents and each investor's rights. A convenient voting method cannot override the authority established in those documents.

Provide for ordinary, urgent and exceptional decisions. Urgency may shorten a response period under an existing rule; it should not create powers during a crisis. Any delegated emergency authority needs limits on amount, purpose, minimum evidence and subsequent reporting. If a proposal falls outside that authority, the group may be unable to invest in time. That possibility belongs in planning, rather than being concealed through improvised approval.

Voting materials should include a recommendation, negotiated conditions, cumulative exposure, each reserve balance and the principal arguments against investing. A proposal for R$ 70,000 in B should also show the R$ 100,000 already invested and known requests from other companies. Presenting the payment within the full set of commitments helps voters assess the trade-off rather than evaluating it as an isolated opportunity.

Silence, delays and conflicts require explicit treatment. A missing response must not be informally converted into consent. If the leader or a voter has a personal interest, disclose it and follow the applicable recusal or independent review procedure. Minutes should retain the approved version of the terms. A material negotiation change may require renewed analysis before signature, because approval applies to a particular proposal.

11

Negotiate rights without confusing protection with complete control

Reserves create negotiating capacity and expectations within the company. At the initial investment, the group may seek periodic information, notice of future rounds and participation rights under defined conditions. These rights require valid documents understood by the parties. A discussion about future support does not oblige the company to accept any amount or price the group later suggests, nor does it commit the group to invest.

Price and ownership percentage tell only part of a follow-on's story. Economic preferences, conversion provisions, information rights and transfer restrictions can change outcomes. A new investor may propose terms affecting existing positions. Assess the package and its effects across possible results. The same nominal percentage need not carry the same economic rights across instruments, so maintaining a percentage does not necessarily preserve an equivalent position.

Payment timing also matters. Instalments tied to verifiable milestones can limit exposure, while the company needs clarity about firmly committed resources. If a milestone is vague or depends on discretion, the payment must not be presented as assured cash. Conditions should be measurable and consistent with the operating cycle, avoiding incentives to bring sales forward artificially or conceal problems merely to trigger the next instalment.

Relationships may support access to regional or sector opportunities, but preserving them does not justify funding without analysis. The leader should explain limits without promising to cover future rounds. A founder may prefer another investor offering more money or different terms. Accepting that possibility is part of disciplined negotiation, including when the group would like to maintain its ownership and influence.

12

Gather proportionate evidence and organize monitoring

Smaller investments still require diligence, with attention to cost and the decision at hand. A cash collection problem calls for payment schedules, collection history and customer concentration. Capacity expansion calls for contracted demand, margins, operating capacity and execution evidence. A large document folder may still fail to explain the proposed use of funds. The request should address decisive uncertainties rather than reward the volume of material supplied.

Useful monitoring compares a few consistently defined indicators with the approved plan and records definition changes. Gross revenue, net revenue and cash collected should not rotate under the same label. The relationship manager can prepare the analysis, but relevant documents and inconsistencies need checking. Information supplied by a portfolio company should retain its identified origin and must not automatically be treated as independently validated.

A project-based approach can organize objectives, instruments, documents, responsibilities, risks and decision histories around each opportunity. KEZS connects entrepreneurial projects and potential funders through technology and intermediation. Investors perform their own diligence and make their own decisions; KEZS does not assign a credit score. Organized documentation can help structure an assessment, while verification, judgment and appropriate legal arrangements remain necessary.

Access should reflect each role's need, with attention to personal data and commercial confidentiality. Sharing an entire folder with every interested party can expose customers and employees without improving the decision. Define permissions, versions and responsible people. Evidence supporting approval should remain retrievable when a file changes or someone leaves the group. Keeping the decision record usable is part of monitoring, alongside collecting new information.

13

Allocate responsibilities and recognize coordination costs

A small group may combine tasks in the same people, but it should distinguish the functions. The leader maintains the thesis and negotiates; the analyst organizes evidence; the authorized body decides; the financial operator checks conditions and pays; accounting records transactions. Legal advisers assess instruments and structure as needed. The arrangement can remain lean, provided responsibility does not depend on assumptions about who will handle each task.

Before payment, someone should confirm the recipient, signed instrument, corresponding approval and satisfaction of conditions. Verification must use appropriate channels, particularly when bank details change. Separating economic approval from financial execution helps reveal discrepancies. Even where one person holds multiple roles, a documented second check can reduce errors without requiring an organization disproportionate to the group's size. Payment controls should match the actual transaction risks.

Coordination costs weigh more heavily on small investments. A structure making six initial investments must also support six monitoring relationships, information requests and potentially difficult negotiations. The example's R$ 50,000 is a hypothetical service budget, not a market price benchmark. If complexity requires more professional time or additional advisers, the shortfall should become visible before money reserved for investments is committed to cover it.

Availability and replacement also need agreement. Sector specialists may contribute occasionally without accepting continuous responsibility. The group should know who receives alerts, the expected response time and how absences are covered. Reliance on unpaid work is an operational dependency to recognize in planning. It does not make the work unnecessary, ensure that someone will be available or remove the consequences if monitoring stops.

14

Record disagreements and manage personal interests

Investors sharing a thesis may disagree about the reserve's purpose. One favors the strongest performer, another wants a continuing stake in all six companies, and another opposes any further investment in struggling businesses. These represent different economic choices. The mandate should establish whether reserves prioritize selection, proportional participation or another criterion, so each individual decision does not reopen the group's entire agreement.

Translate disagreement into comparable assumptions. A recommendation for A might rely on sustained demand, while opposition highlights dependence on one buyer. The assessment can identify evidence that would narrow the difference and uncertainty that will remain. Recording the opposing case supports later review without attributing every unfavorable outcome to bad luck or every favorable result to a sound process. Outcomes alone do not reconstruct the reasoning available beforehand.

Conflicts arise when a leader invests personally, supplies services to a company or belongs to another group in the same round. Allocation, information and terms can become contested. Disclose these relationships before the recommendation and apply the relevant documents' procedures. Compensation tied to closing deserves particular attention: it creates an incentive to complete an investment even when preserving cash might better serve the group's mandate.

Some participants may wish to invest beyond the common limit. A separate transaction can be considered where legally appropriate and permitted by the agreements, with clear treatment of opportunity access, expenses and effects on collective rights. It must not privately divert the best terms or impose obligations on others. A participant's refusal does not authorize using that person's commitment for a different purpose or assuming their participation.

15

Stress-test adverse scenarios and correct execution errors

Consider a variation before approval of the final R$ 100,000 in follow-ons: A requests R$ 120,000 and D requests R$ 80,000. Demand is R$ 200,000 against R$ 100,000 available. Labeling both requests priorities does not close the gap. The group must choose, reduce amounts, negotiate third-party participation or formally change allocations where permitted. Preserving contingency money can itself be a deliberate choice despite unmet investment requests.

Another scenario involves necessary cash arriving after the investment window. A commitment not yet paid may be delayed or unfulfilled, depending on circumstances and the contract. A promised capital call therefore cannot be treated like received funds. The group should understand applicable contractual remedies and avoid obligations whose execution depends on collection that may not be completed in time. A legal claim does not itself supply immediately usable cash.

Operational errors can distort reserves. Suppose C's R$ 40,000 appears as an investment but is not deducted from the contingency category. The bank balance remains correct while availability by purpose is overstated. Correction requires adjusting records, rebuilding affected reports and communicating whether any decisions relied on the wrong figure. Quietly changing a spreadsheet cell does not address the consequences of information already circulated or used.

An analytical error needs a different response: revisit assumptions, identify dependent decisions and improve evidence requirements. If A loses its main customer, that news alone does not establish a precise accounting loss on the R$ 240,000 invested, although its economic outlook may deteriorate sharply. Assessment should recognize deterioration without invented precision. Any additional investment must confront the adverse information rather than rely on the earlier favorable case.

16

Close each cycle with reconciled cash and reviewable decisions

Periodic review should begin with received capital, signed commitments, payments and future costs, then compare cumulative exposure with company information and expected opportunities. The example ends with R$ 890,000 invested, R$ 50,000 spent on the structure and R$ 60,000 in contingency cash. No follow-on reserve remains. Any further approval must acknowledge that constraint and identify an authorized funding source before creating another obligation.

The R$ 60,000 should not remain indefinitely merely through habit. Documents should address the use period, residual obligations, possible repayment to participants and closure procedures. Returning unused cash is not an investment return; it may simply restore capital never deployed. Reports should distinguish that repayment from distributions generated by portfolio companies and explain remaining costs and rights. Otherwise, returning unspent capital can misleadingly inflate perceived investment performance.

Each decision record should reconstruct the proposal, evidence, conflicts, approval, contract and payment. A digital trail can help detect changes, but it does not establish a sale's truth, legal title, reserve solvency or payment. Blockchain integrity cannot replace these checks or guarantee payment. Private documents should not be placed on public blockchains as a demonstration of transparency; access and disclosure still require appropriate controls.

A practical meeting agenda is to confirm uncommitted cash, update obligations, review investment requests and identify missing information. For each proposal, record amount, purpose, responsibility, conditions and reserve impact. The useful result is decision-making capacity consistent with the thesis and actual cash, accompanied by understood limits. Discipline preserves options while uncertainty, conflicts, coordination costs and the possibility of loss remain part of the investment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Must follow-on reserves be divided equally among portfolio companies?

No, provided the mandate and governing documents permit selection. Equal division can overlook differences in need, price, execution and risk. Establish criteria beforehand and assess cumulative exposure. Contractual funding commitments and specific rights require separate consideration. In the example, A receives R$ 140,000 in follow-ons, B receives R$ 70,000 and D receives R$ 40,000; the other companies receive none from that reserve. These hypothetical choices do not demonstrate that concentration will produce a better result. An equal initial investment also creates no automatic entitlement to equal future support.

When can declining an investment make sense despite available reserves?

When the proposal fails the criteria or retaining cash better serves the mandate. Possible reasons include an unsuitable price, missing evidence, excessive exposure, a change in thesis or funding insufficient to execute the plan. A reserve provides capacity to invest rather than an obligation to spend its balance. Refusal should still acknowledge potential dilution and difficulty recovering earlier investments. Available cash does not make an unsuitable proposal acceptable, and preserving it does not guarantee another opportunity. The assessment should explain the trade-off using current evidence.

What changes when members invest directly without pooled cash?

Coordination must show which decisions remain individual and which obligations have been formally assumed. A list of interested investors is not an available financial reserve. The leader should distinguish intentions, commitments, outstanding conditions and completed transfers, while identifying who will own each right. Shared expenses also need rules. Depending on the circumstances, organizing a joint transaction may require an appropriate legal structure. Calling the group a syndicate neither settles its classification nor authorizes regulated activity. Reports must avoid treating another person's unconfirmed intention as money the leader can deploy.

How should a group assess an urgent request with incomplete documentation?

It can narrow its document request to evidence addressing decisive risks, but missing evidence remains a limitation. Relevant items include cash position, upcoming obligations, the deficit's cause, total financing needed and support for important expected inflows. The group must also verify its authority to decide urgently. Without a sufficient basis, it may decline or impose conditions. An approaching payment deadline does not validate management's explanation, and a partial investment may fail to solve the problem. Other investors' verbal interest should not be counted as confirmed funding.

Can reserves be used to maintain the group's ownership percentage?

Yes, if that purpose is permitted and the new transaction receives the required approval. Maintaining ownership may require progressively larger investments and increase concentration. Check participation rights, conditions and deadlines in the documents, then compare the cost of exercising them with the economic merits of investing. Accepting dilution may be consistent with the mandate. Keeping the same percentage also does not guarantee equivalent economic rights if the round introduces different instruments or preferences. A participation right preserves a possibility; it does not make exercising that right automatically desirable.

How can portfolio reporting avoid confusing payments with performance?

Separate invested capital, costs, available cash, obligations and valuation methods. The example's R$ 890,000 represents payments into companies, not market value or recoverable proceeds. A valuation used in a funding round is not an offer to purchase the group's holding. Explain the method, assumptions and limitations behind estimates. Report distributions actually received separately from unused capital returned to participants. The R$ 60,000 remaining in cash cannot be counted both as a reserve and as a realized investment gain, and historical investment totals do not establish current portfolio value.

Which references help deepen Brazilian legal and documentary analysis?

Reference entry points include CVM materials on investment funds and the framework addressed by Resolution 88, Banco Central materials on correspondents, Portal do Empreendedor guidance on MEI and ANPD guidance on data protection. Each covers a distinct subject and can help identify questions for qualified professionals. These references do not establish KEZS authorization or independently determine a syndicate's legal classification. The actual structure, instruments and offering method must be considered together. Consult the applicable materials for the transaction rather than treating an educational reference as permission to collect funds or conduct regulated activities.
