You can process a cash distribution for a private equity fund.

In the Cash Distribution/Capitalization/Cash Entry/Final Close panel, you can process a cash distribution from a private equity fund. A Cash transaction (LPCASH event) lets you record cash paid or received. There are two types of cash distributions:

  • Recallable. Cash is paid out to limited partners (LPs), but can be either fully or partially recalled by the general partner (GP) at a later date. This decreases the funded commitment and increases the unfunded commitment.

  • Non-Recallable. Cash is paid out to LPs permanently. This does not affect the funded commitment or unfunded commitment.

You can also use cash distributions to include income/expense for the commitment. You can specify a receivable/payable event type for the expense rather than create a separate miscellaneous expense transaction.

This The LPCASH event is part of the Capital Based Fund Investment workflow used when you set up a private equity security with a processing security type of Capital Based Fund Investment (EQCBFI).
