This section describes how to use a private equity workflow for a private equity security with a processing security type of Capital Based Fund Investment (EQCBFI).
Eagle Accounting allows you to track the key components of private equity (PE) investments (total commitment, funded commitment, recallable capital, and unfunded commitment) using the capital-based fund investments (CBFI) functionality. These are the relationships between the fields:
...
The system can track both the fund and unfunded commitment for private equity. When you use the Intial Funding panel, you can enter the commitment amount in a private equity fund. The transaction creates a position in the private equity fund, typically with no cost. There is no cost typically because the investor is committing a specified amount of capital to the investment up front and the private equity fund starts to call for capital from the investor throughout the life of the investment. You can then enter call payments as Funded Capital. Cash distributions from the private equity fund to the investor do not have an impact on the unfunded commitment unless they are recallable capital.

If you process private equity using the capital-based fund investments (CBFI) functionality and additionally use cash segregation for custody holdings to provide a custodian view of transaction activity, Eagle Accounting supports the use of private equity transactions when you match or unmatch actual cash settlements.
