As a member of a LLC you already enjoy a limited liability status, so one does not 'need' to form another LLC to be protected. There are, however, certain instances where forming a secondary LLC could be beneficial. You did not mention what is the nature of the fund, how many other parties will be involved and the type of investments that the entity will be making. These factors may necessiate the formation of a secondary LLC or a sturture commonly known as series LLC. In addition, great consideration should be given to whether you will be compensated via distributions, salary or both.

Since, as an investor, you are likely risking a substantial amount of money it is highly recommended that you consult with an attorney admitted to practice in New York to fully flesh these issues.

Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience.
