Use Pending Trades with Private Equity

You can use pending trades for private equity securities based on a processing security type of Capital based Fund Investment (EQCBFI). If you track pending trade activity, be aware that you can set up pending trade rules that determine how the system handles automated and manual trade cancellations within the pending trades workflow. For general information about pending trades, see Manage Pending Trades.

Capital Call. You can process a capital call (funding of the commitment), which may include both capital investments and fees that impact the funded and unfunded commitments. A capital call increases the funded commitment and decreases the unfunded commitment.

Multiple Cash/Calls
(multiple transactions)

LPCASH

Cash Distribution. You can process a cash distribution from a private equity fund and can break out the distribution between income, expense, and cost. 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.

Cash Distribution/Capitalization/Final Close
(single transaction)

Multiple Cash/Calls
(multiple transactions)

LPCAP

Capitalization. You can process capitalization to recognize income and/or expenses. This also adjusts the cost of the private equity position. These transactions hit LP Income and LP Expense, but they do not generate cash or affect the funded and unfunded commitments.

Cash Distribution/Capitalization/Final Close

LPCLOSE

Final Close. You can close out a position in a private equity fund. You can break out any cash associated with the close between income, expense, and cost.
