Registered Funds Overview
What a registered fund is in Monark's model, and how an integration differs from the private companies flow.
Integrating through Apex AscendOS?The product guidance on this page applies to you. The endpoints, fields and statuses are Monark's; use the AscendOS equivalents listed in Building on Apex AscendOS.
A registered fund is a pooled vehicle registered with the SEC. Monark exposes them through the same transaction API as private company SPVs, so the shape of an integration is the same: discover a fund, create a transaction, complete its actions, track it to settlement.
One API, two products
POST /primary/v2/transaction is the unified order endpoint. targetAssetType selects the product:
targetAssetType | Target |
|---|---|
PreIPOCompanySPV | A single-asset SPV over a private company |
RegisteredFund | A registered fund |
Everything in Transaction Actions applies to both, as does the transaction status lifecycle.
Where the products diverge
Sides. A Pre-IPO SPV transaction can only ever be a Subscription. Registered funds accept the full set:
| Side | Meaning |
|---|---|
Subscription | Buy in |
Redemption | Sell out. Requires isFullExit, and amountShares unless the exit is full |
Transfer | Move a position. Registered funds only — requires isFullExit, and transferDirection where the default of Inbound is not what you want |
Commitment | Commit capital to a drawdown fund |
CapitalCall | Fund an individual capital call. Does not reference a prior commitment |
Commitment and CapitalCall require a drawdown registered fund, and refuse amountShares, isFullExit, taxLotElection and distributionElection.
Exit. Registered fund investors redeem. SPV investors cannot redeem. This difference shapes the whole portfolio experience and is worth surfacing to investors explicitly.
Statuses. All eight transaction statuses are reachable for a registered fund, including Initiated and PendingCancellation, which an SPV subscription never reaches. See Transactions.
Share classes. A registered fund order names a shareClassId. An SPV has no share class concept.
What is the same
- Authentication, pagination, idempotency and the error envelope. See Authentication & Environments.
- Parties, accounts and accreditation. See Investor Accounts.
- The transaction action workflow, including the document signing order. See Transaction Actions.
- Webhook delivery, though the status event is
RegisteredFundTransactionStatusrather thanSubscriptionStatus.
