What is a prospectus?
A prospectus is an official document that provides detailed information about an investment opportunity. The prospectus is required to be provided to potential investors in the State of California prior to or at the time of sale of the investment. It typically includes information on the offering, such as the purpose of the investment, risks associated with it, the background of the issuer, and how the investment will be managed. The information provided in a prospectus must be accurate and complete, and it must be filed with the state prior to sale. The prospectus must also include a disclosure statement that contains information about any potential conflicts of interest between the issuer and investors, as well as other important information about the investment. In the state of California, failure to provide a prospectus or to provide an incomplete or inaccurate prospectus could be a violation of investment fraud law.
