- highDDQ gap: Does the fund engage an independent auditor?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Governance). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- highDDQ gap: Does the fund have a GP clawback provision?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Economics). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- mediumDDQ gap: Does the fund use a third-party fund administrator?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Governance). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- mediumDDQ gap: What is the GP's capital commitment (skin in the game)?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Economics). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- mediumDDQ gap: What is the target offering size?The offering documents don't answer a standard institutional DDQ question (Structure). An allocator will ask this directly — the GP should be ready with an answer.
- mediumFull (100%) GP catch-up to a 20% carryA 100%-rate catch-up routes every post-pref dollar to the GP until it has caught up to its full carry, before the LP sees any split. Combined with a high carry this materially front-loads GP economics. A graduated (e.g. 50/50) catch-up would keep the LP in the cash flow during the tier.
- mediumGP earns a promote but no tier returns LP capital firstThe waterfall pays the GP a promote/carry, yet none of the extracted tiers return the LP's contributed capital before that promote runs. Either the PPM omits a return-of-capital step or the extractor missed it — either way the distribution section is worth a read.
