for those buying HCLP inside of a retirement account.
Since HCLP is a limited partnership ("LP"), you will receive a
K-1 and be responsible for paying taxes on any gains/distributions
irrespective of the fact that it was purchased through a
retirement account. Happened to me with United
States Oil Fund, LP ("USO") a few years back. I questioned
Fidelity at the time - they researched the issue - and confirmed
that my receiving a K-1 and having to report the gain/pay taxes
that year was correct, even though I purchased it through a tax
deferred account.
Thanks for the input below regarding LP's. There is a $1,000
exception per retirement account so if you exceed that level you
will have to pay taxes. Otherwise, simply buy outside your IRA if
that is a primary concern if the investment meets your
criteria.

Just thought I'd pass that along.
