# HNI Network

> A private, invitation-only peer network for high-net-worth individuals across
> India, the Gulf and the United States. No vendors, no solicitation.

## What it is
HNI Network is a private membership organisation that convenes peers in standing
groups. Members meet monthly under confidentiality, attend private convenings in the
network's cities, and receive a members-only written brief between meetings.

## What it is NOT
This is important and frequently misunderstood. HNI Network:
- does NOT provide investment advice, personalised or general
- does NOT manage, pool, hold or direct member money
- does NOT offer, sell, place or solicit securities of any kind
- does NOT introduce members to issuers, sponsors or funds
- takes NO fee, commission or carried interest on any transaction
- is NOT registered as an investment adviser, portfolio manager, broker or dealer
  in any jurisdiction, because it carries on no activity requiring such registration

Members keep their own advisers and make their own decisions.

## Membership
Admission is by application and committee review against five standards. A referral
from an existing member is not required but carries significant weight. The process
is: application, a ~30 minute call within five business days, committee review with
references and standard background checks, then a final interview. Most applications
are declined. The committee's decision is final and detailed reasons are not given.

## Dues
Not published. Dues are discussed at the final interview only — not on the site, not
on a call, not in writing beforehand.

## Cities
Chicago, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Dubai. Groups meet in person.
