"Forget All Those Previous Reviews"
All those previous 5 star reviews - forget them. Bequest recently announced that they have suspended all distributions. For at least a year they have been taking incoming capital and using it fund distributions. Management claims that they were unaware. Regardless if they were aware, this is management incompetence. On top of their poor management they are continuing to take their asset management fee and are charging all legal, accounting and valuation expenses against the fund. As long as they stayed in their lane, I had previously though pretty highly of the management team, however it is pretty clear that they are a poor management and with questionable ethics. They are making the investors eat the costs of their incompetence.
Bequest Asset Management
We understand that recent developments have raised questions, and we take those concerns seriously. We welcome the opportunity to provide clarification. Bequest has never had a policy or intentional practice of using incoming investor capital to fund distributions. Distribution decisions were made based on the fund’s reported liquidity position and analysis conducted in coordination with the fund’s independent administrator. The matter currently under review was identified internally by our team as part of our ongoing oversight processes. Consistent with our commitment to transparency and responsible governance, we voluntarily disclosed the issue to regulators and engaged independent third-party professionals to conduct both a forensic accounting review and an independent valuation analysis. As part of this process, distributions within Bequest Income Fund I, LLC and Bequest Legacy Fund I, LLC have been temporarily suspended and are being accrued while the reviews are completed. This step was taken proactively to ensure the accuracy of reporting and to strengthen oversight as the review proceeds. This review relates specifically to these Reg D funds and does not involve the firm’s separate Regulation A bond offering, which operates under a different structure or other offerings. The independent review is currently underway and is expected to conclude in the coming months. We will continue to provide updates to investors as additional information becomes available. During this period, the funds’ underlying assets continue to be actively managed, and fund operations continue in accordance with the governing documents. We recognize that this is a serious matter and remain focused on transparency, disciplined execution, and clear communication with our investors as the review progresses. Investors with questions are encouraged to contact our investor relations team directly at shawn@bqfunds.com or 941-957-9979 ext. 302.
