What should investors actually look for in a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM)?

In this episode, Ellis Hammond sits down with Ben Fraser and Bob Fraser to break down real examples of PPMs that raised major red flags — including unlimited sponsor expenses, huge placement fees, and deal structures that shift risk entirely onto investors.

They walk through what a private placement memorandum is designed to do, why experienced investors focus more on the risks than the upside, and the specific sections you should read before investing in a private deal.

If you invest in real estate syndications, private equity, private credit, or alternative investments, learning how to evaluate a PPM can help you avoid costly mistakes.
