FAQs
What is a lockup period?
The SEC considers many private offerings to be restricted securities. Restricted securities often require investors in the initial offering to hold the security for a certain period of time. Please consult your legal counsel for mandatory holding periods by offering type.
Can non-U.S. investors trade on the platform?
Yes, Openfinance is available to both U.S. and non-U.S. investors. The type of security offering will dictate who can and cannot own the security at a given time. Openfinance technology enforces these regulations automatically with every asset.
