In this episode you will learn:

- The distinct roles and liability of general partners (unlimited liability, active management) versus limited partners (limited liability, passive investors).

- That DPPs pass through both income and losses, and these passive losses can only offset passive income, not active or portfolio income.

- Why DPPs are considered highly illiquid investments, making them unsuitable for investors with short-term liquidity needs.

- The strict suitability standards for DPPs, which are typically only appropriate for high-net-worth, sophisticated investors in high tax brackets.

- The function of a subscription agreement as the formal application for an investor to be accepted into a limited partnership by the general partner.
