Note that the threshold with respect to activities (c), (d) and (e) applies to the initial investment amount: where a subsequent distribution to a client, or a reduction in the mark to market value of the investment, reduces the initial investment amount below US$ 100,000, it is still considered a wholesale transaction. The threshold in Rule LR-1.2.16 applies to a client even if the same client satisfies the BD 7m threshold in Rule LR-1.2.13, with respect to money placement /financing activities. Finally, the initial amount taken as an investment may be split between two or more investment products — providing at least US$ 100,000 is taken from the customer on the same day and the bank's records can demonstrate this.
