Purpose
The Peregrine Group is an international private equity firm. It is named after Rajani Aishwara’s luxury ship, The Peregrine in which it is headquartered. The firm operates four fund families, focusing on leveraged takeovers, venture growth & capital, real estate, and leveraged finance investments. Its members include entrepreneurs of the obvious definition, and a less obvious lot of men and women who come together for one common goal: making a living. It includes warriors and scholars, politicians and housewives. The membership of the Peregrine Group is so diverse because the mission of the group allows diversity – to drive economic development for the greater good. This philosophy condones the grim realities of capitalism, like one business buying out another, and the humble virtues of life, like a struggling mercenary who needs to keep a full stomach. Whatever the member’s needs are, the Peregrine Group will supply with little question for life is business.
Admission
Membership is open to anyone with 20 gp. While the sources vary, the main source of the Peregrine Group’s funding comes from its members, who are required to contribute a minimum of ten percent of their monetary earnings to the firm after getting into the group. In turn, this money is used to provide benifits for members of the group.
Benefits
The benefits of being a part of the Peregrine Group will increase over time as the group grows in prominence. The current benefits are in direct correlation to the firm’s four fund families.
Venture Growth & Capital – Venture capital is used for financing new, growing or struggling businesses. Since life is business, members can request money from the Peregrine Group upon making any purchases as long as they declare the purchase in the name of the Peregrine Group. This does not mean that the Peregrine Group owns what the member has purchased. It is simply lip service, a free form of advertising. Need a weapon from the bazaar? The Peregrine Group will pay for it. Want to buy an estate in Salvar? The Peregrine Group will pay for it. (BTW: A Salvic estate generates income if you use it right.) Members at entry rank are only allowed to make one purchase per level. The purchases also must be at least one month apart, and a quest/battle must be completed between each purchase.
OOC: Evaluate the cost of a purchase, and we will give you that money, but only once per level for members at entry rank.
Real Estate – Real estate is a legal term that encompasses land along with anything permanently affixed to land, like buildings. Any land under the direct ownership of the Peregrine Group is available for occupation by its members. Peregrine’s land is its members’ land. For now, that only encompasses a luxurious clipper class boat, but will soon grow.
Leveraged Finance Advancements – Transactions at the auction house are rare, but when they do happen, big bucks are involved. The Peregrine Group will provide a quarter of the member’s bid at the Auction House.
Leveraged Takeovers – Not to be vague this is simply the hostile takeover of a large institution, whether it’s a corporation, another PG or, or even a nation. In other words this is the Peregrine Group’s call to war, and it will use its resources, monetary and otherwise to conquer that institution. The Shareholders must be consulted before this is done, and during this time ranks and divisions among the membership will be organized accordingly. Depending on the severity of the situation, generous rewards will be granted to members who act in support of the group.
Code of Conduct
Members must contribute ten percent of their monetary earnings.
Membership is not guaranteed if hopefull members are a part of another institution.
Members may not act against one another.
Loyalty to the Peregrine Group must be declared and demonstrated in event of war or leveraged takeover. Failure to do so will result in expulsion.

The Shareholders
They are the ruling body of the Peregrine Group. Members will be offered percentages of the ownership upon special invitation. Once the group is filled out, any Shareholder can sell their ownership on negotiable terms.
Ranks/Benefits
Upon initiation into the firm, members will be asked to provide a special title defining their area of expertise. Nevertheless these ranks and benefits stand, and promotion is only granted upon approval.
Entry Level Position - one purchase per level / 25% leveraged finance
Advisor – two purchases per level / 30% leveraged finance
Senior Advisor – three purchases per level / 40% leveraged finance
Manager – four purchases per level / 50% leveraged finance
Senior Manager – five purchases per level / 60% leveraged finance
Shareholder – six purchases per level / 75% leveraged finance
Projects
Members will be able to submit and participate in projects that further the cause of the Peregrine Group. These will reap special rewards in addition to winning the favor of the Shareholders for promotion. Some of them will be posted here in public, others will be more discrete. Keep an eye out.
