    Hi, I’m looking for some guidance on being an AR.

    I’m a data scientist with ties to the the fund management industry. I’ve got a pool of 15 or so close friends who want to invest in US equities, traded algorithmically, managed by myself.

    Now, given this would be a MIS under the small scale exception, I would not require a registered fund, however would need either an AFSL or to be an AR of a ASFL license holder.

    As it would be faster to pursue the AR route, I’m wondering how I would go about sourcing AR approval, or who to approach. I’m aware there would be fees payable to the ASFL holder.

    Cheers!

    You don’t need an AFSL to invest with friends and family even if you take profit.
