“I’ve spent a lot of time building out our internal Excel model that we use for capital allocations. While they do what they need to do, it’s just the maintenance of it that’s tedious.

👀 Let’s talk about clawback risk (and we don’t mean those hard-to-win arcade games). Clawback risk affects 1 in 14 private equity funds, according to research from Upwelling Capital Group (via Private Equity International). Why should GPs care? Maintaining strong finances and positive LP relationships is often at the top of the list— in a clawback scenario, previously distributed carried interest is returned due to subsequent underperformance. Beyond relationships, understanding and managing waterfall calculations is also about good compliance and strategic risk management. The complexity of modern waterfalls, combined with the need for real-time scenario modeling, makes this a critical focus area for fund managers. Ready to protect your firm from clawback exposure? Learn about how advanced waterfall tools and comprehensive data management systems can help mitigate this risk in our recent whitepaper- 🔗 below.
