Escalation
If you are not satisfied, you may escalate to the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will provide the file to the Commission on request.
Disputes between investors and fundraisers
Where a dispute concerns a Fundraiser's conduct or disclosures, Pennytree will investigate and, where appropriate, require the Fundraiser to respond publicly in the deal room Q&A. Pennytree is not a party to the investment contract and cannot compel a commercial outcome between an investor and a Fundraiser.
Records
We keep complaint records and outcomes for at least seven years, in line with the SEC record-keeping rules, and include them in required reporting.
