This CLE course will analyze the current state of the investment market that has given rise to alternative private equity structures focused on liquidity, such as continuation funds, GP-led secondaries, and permanent capital vehicles. The panel will review the mechanics and the pros and cons of these alternative structures.

Description

As the private equity industry matures, general partners seek longer-dated funding sources for their investments and themselves for several reasons. They want to reduce fundraising costs, provide for more certainty of capital, and ensure more time to enhance the value of their portfolio companies and better time exits with the market cycle.

Continuation funds permit general partners to hold portfolio companies past the term of a fund and possibly invest new capital while returning capital to investors.

Permanent capital vehicles, which come in multiple varieties, permit general partners to raise and deploy capital over a potentially unlimited time horizon, freeing them up from the typical 10-year fund lifecycle.

Listen as our authoritative panel of practitioners discusses the structure, benefits, and pitfalls of these alternative fund structures. The panel will compare and contrast these alternative structures and discuss how they fit the current fundraising landscape.
