Close Out a Private Equity Position

In the Cash Distribution/Capitalization/Final Close panel, you can close out a position in a private equity fund. The Close transaction (LPCLOSE event) closes out the commitment and is always a full close rather than a partial close. You can break out any cash associated with the close between income, expense, and cost.

The LPCLOSE 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).
