Blocker corporation

A corporate entity placed between a fund and certain investors — commonly tax-exempt or non-US investors — to prevent them receiving income that would create tax filing obligations or unrelated business taxable income.

In practice

Blockers pay entity-level tax, so investors who use them have different after-tax returns, which must be reflected in their reporting.

In FUN/D

FUN/D models blockers as entities in the structure and reports investors through them.
