Investor and Affiliate Representative Benefits and Access
AHIC membership is corporate based and allows all employees at member firms to access AHIC membership benefits depending on membership type and an employee’s role at the member firm.
All employees of AHIC members are categorized as either Investor Representatives or Affiliate Representatives. (Learn more with our Explainer.)
This categorization allows AHIC to deliver on its mission of providing investor-only forums while also seeking ways to engage our affiliate partners, whether they work for a standalone syndicator or a bank syndicator.
- Employees at Investor Firms that Do NOT Syndicate Federal Tax Credits: All employees are Investor Representatives.
- Employees at Investor Firms that DO Syndicate Federal Tax Credits: Employees who call on investors to raise capital or work in sales are Affiliate Representatives. All others are Investor Representatives.
- Employees at Affiliate Member Firms: All employees are Affiliate Representatives.
Investor Representatives have unlimited access to AHIC programs, forums and benefits. Affiliate Representatives have limited access.
