The Challenged Fund: Toolkit for Dealing with Zombie Funds, Legacy Assets, GP Restructurings, and Other Difficult Situations

Workshop Times

  • 09:30AM - 11:00AM
  • 11:30AM - 01:00PM

Description

This workshop will explore issues and solution paths for relationships that LPs no longer wish to maintain going forward, from the most simple to the most complex. The pros/cons and degree-of-difficulty of each solution path will be explored. Multiple real-life case studies will be presented (non-attributable summaries of which will be distributed in each session) to promote interactive discussion and determine whether the target outcome was achieved. Participants will have a framework for recognizing, evaluating, and acting on these situations in the future.

Learning Objectives

  • Determine the root causes and evolution of challenged funds and how relationships can deteriorate over time
  • Provide a playbook of options for dealing with these situations and explore the nuances of pursuing various solution paths
  • Assess who initiates action in these situations, and why. Assess whether and when an LP should initiate action and the potential benefits and consequences
  • Explore which of the following options might be a good fit for specific situations: pre-commitment legal terms, fee-reductions, suspension/commitment reductions, GP replacement, position secondary sale, fund restructuring, legacy asset management, and do nothing/business as usual
