Understanding Private Fund Marketing Exemptions: Reg D, Rule 506(b) & Reg D, Rule 506(c)

Jul 17, 2025

For most private funds, Regulation D provides two primary exemptions for raising capital: Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c). Each rule comes with its own set of advantages, limitations, and compliance requirements that can significantly impact your fundraising strategy.

Our new guide, Understanding Private Fund Marketing Exemptions: Reg D, Rule 506(b) & Rule 506(c), breaks down the key differences between these two approaches. Whether you’re drawn to the simplicity of 506(b) or the broader reach and public solicitation allowed under 506(c), it’s essential to understand how each option aligns with your goals, investor base, and internal compliance capabilities.

Selecting the right exemption is about more than regulatory compliance, it’s about setting your fund up for long-term growth with the right strategic foundation. Download the guide below to explore which exemption best fits your capital raising goals.
