RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:does anyone holding LBS?

At termination, you will only receive the NAV of your holdings. The reason for these offerings is mainly to increase the size of the fund. This is beneficial for the managers because they make more money, but it is also beneficial to investors as it increases liquidity as well as the NAV since these offerings are always at a premium.

The big danger is when the market has had enough and is no longer willing to pay the premium to NAV. To date, the investors always seem to be willing to devour these offerings and the premiums seem to be maintained over the long term.
