FAQs

What is a capital call in private equity?

In private equity, a capital call is a process where the General Partner (GP) of a fund requests committed capital from Limited Partners (LPs). When investors agree to invest in a private equity fund, they don't provide all the capital upfront. Instead, the GP will periodically call on portions of that committed capital when the fund needs it, such as for making new investments or covering expenses.

 

What is a drawdown?

In finance and private equity, a drawdown refers to the process where a fund manager (General Partner) requests capital from investors (Limited Partners) that was previously committed to the fund. The term "drawdown" is often used interchangeably with "capital call."

Unlike traditional investments where capital is committed all at once, in private equity, investors pledge a certain amount, and the GP draws it down in stages as investment opportunities arise.

What is a distribution in private equity?

Private equity distribution refers to the process of returning profits or proceeds from an investment to the fund’s investors, also known as Limited Partners (LPs). Distributions typically occur after an asset or portfolio company has been sold or generates income, such as dividends or interest. The proceeds are then distributed to investors based on their ownership stake in the fund.

Distributions can take various forms, including cash or shares, and are usually accompanied by detailed notices that outline the allocation and payout amounts to each LP. This process allows investors to receive returns on their original capital commitments throughout the life of the fund.

Why do you need a specialized platform to manage capital calls and distribution notices?

A specialized platform is essential for managing capital calls and distribution notices in private equity because it automates complex, repetitive tasks and reduces the risk of errors. Managing capital calls manually involves coordinating with multiple investors, tracking commitments, issuing timely notices, and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Similarly, distribution notices need to be accurate, consistent, and timely.

A specialized platform, like Zapflow, centralizes these processes, allowing General Partners (GPs) to:

  • Automate notifications and reminders.
  • Track real-time data on commitments and distributions.
  • Ensure accuracy and compliance with industry regulations.
  • Reduce manual input, lowering the risk of errors and improving overall efficiency.
