2. What is unlimited liability?
For example, if a person or legal person injects his own funds into a fund, establishes the fund and announces that he is the general partner of the fund, then the participant directly manages the operation of the fund and operates all the funds for investment according to the purpose agreed upon when the fund is established. At this time, an entity has a large amount of funds and wants to use its own funds to obtain the investment income of the fund. This can be done, but it doesn't want to participate in the management of the fund and has no time. It can choose to be a limited partner. However, when a limited partner joins, it is generally the worst case that the limited partner can't withdraw all his funds. If the fund operates normally, how much income will the whole fund give to the limited partners? Generally, it is agreed in advance, such as 10% fixed income per year, or 5% fixed income plus the percentage of the fund's annual profit, that is, floating income, and so on.
3. Public Offering of Fund, investing in stocks, bonds, spot markets or other industries, does not involve the debt problem, or it will be wiped out. However, there are many corporate funds in the market. This kind of fund can be in debt, that is, it can borrow money from abroad. If the operation is good, normal repayment is no problem. However, if the fund cannot operate normally due to poor management, it needs to withdraw from liquidation. If there is still debt, the limited partner will only bear the responsibility of investing capital when facing repayment. In other words, all the money is gone, but the general partner needs to take his own assets as the liquidation responsibility in addition to the funds invested, and it will not end until the debt is processed or there are no assets to deal with. If the fund involves legal proceedings, the general partner needs to bear legal responsibility and respond to the lawsuit, but the limited partner does not.
