Is it legally possible to accept money from investors based outside of US to invest in a Delaware, US based LP, as limited partners? Or is there a law that says only US resident investors can become limited partners in a US based LP?

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that to accept non US based investors, the fund must be an off-shore fund (i.e. incorporated outside US like in Cayman Islands or BVI)? Is it true? Can anyone please give a link if possible? I couldn't find anything easily on the web.

If you ever started making money consistently trading, you'd give up these ideas of non USA White Knights saving you by investing money.

I am not asking this question because I want to set up a fund. lol.

Its just that a buddy of mine wanted my opinion on this question and I couldn't find anything concrete. So, I posted this query here to see if I can get some concrete info.

like on a typical afternoon when the the market closes and I go out drinking with all my trading "buddies."

You'd be surprised how many of them want to attract non USA customers to their hedge fund.

It's a great life as long as you can live it all inside your head.
