Improving Private Fund Liquidity to Support Fundraising
LP’s appetite for liquidity outside of ordinary distributions has risen in recent years amidst a more challenging exit environment. Limited by a 2% cap on transfers, many GPs are faced with PTP queues - sometimes years into the future.
At the same time, many GPs are actively raising new funds. Pacing models typically assume that LPs will reinvest, allowing new vintages to self-fund. A challenging exit environment breaks some of those assumptions.
Enhanced liquidity through the secondary market may allow LPs to exit previous funds and reallocate their capital more efficiently, supporting continuous fundraising efforts.
Clearing Transfer Queues
With help from Nasdaq Fund Secondaries Qualified Matching Service (QMS) technology, a fund manager can facilitate auctions on the NFS platform in accordance with Treasury Reg 1.7704-1(g), thereby enabling a fund to increase the potential total amount of transferable interest during the fund’s taxable year from 2% up to 10%. Subject to certain limitations.
*Additional safe harbors may apply under the applicable Treasury regulations.
