      Subscription AgreementSubscription Agreement

      • Who Signs? The investor, investment sponsor, and STRATA. 
      • Who Prepares the Subscription Agreement? The investment sponsor and/or investor.

      A subscription agreement is provided by the investment sponsor. An unexecuted document is required to onboard a new private equity investment – learn more here. This may be referred to as the purchase agreement, investment agreement, shareholder agreement, limited partnership agreement, or operating agreement.

      A completed subscription document (signed and filled out by the investor and investment sponsor) is also required from the investor when submitting STRATA’s Investment Direction - Private Investments form, which provides instructions to fund an investor’s new investment. If the investment sponsor requires an investor questionnaire to be completed, fill this out prior to sending it to STRATA. Once it is completed and signed by the investor, STRATA will sign it in its capacity as the IRA custodian.
