Caruso’s Secondary Market feature enables fund managers to facilitate liquidity for investors. It allows investors to initiate sell or buy orders via the Investor Portal, subject to fund manager approval.

Important: Fractional unit sales are currently not supported. This restriction applies only to the Secondary Market.


Step 1: Enable Secondary Market

  • In the navigation pane, select Funds

  • Click the appropriate fund from the list

  • Go to the fund’s Settings tab

  • Scroll to the Secondary Market section

  • Toggle the secondary market on or off as required

    • (Optional) Enter a fee percentage to charge sellers on successful trades

  • Click Save changes


Managing Sell and Buy Orders

All secondary market activity is managed through Tasks in the navigation pane:

  • When an investor submits a sell order, a Review sell order system task is created

  • When an investor places a buy order, a Review buy order system task is created

  • These tasks can be assigned to teammates to Confirm, Cancel, or Edit as required

Once a sell order is confirmed:

  • The investor receives an email notification

  • A public listing appears on the Secondary Market

When reviewing buy orders:

  • You can review all bids, present them to the seller, and complete the transaction

  • Accepting one buy order automatically cancels any other pending bids — affected investors are notified by email

All Secondary Market activity is also visible under the fund’s Secondary Market tab.


Notes

  • Disabling the Secondary Market removes all active listings for that fund

  • Caruso does not charge fees for listing or bidding on the Secondary Market

  • Ensure all relevant payments are settled before completing a buy order
