Capital Call
A Capital Call is a request from a Private Markets fund to its investors to contribute a portion of their committed capital. The committed capital is not transferred all at once but drawn down in stages as the fund identifies and executes concrete investments.
At a glance
- Investors make a Commitment at the outset, which is drawn down over a period of years.
- Uncalled capital must be kept available and ready for deployment.
- Late contributions may trigger contractual penalties.
Frequently asked questions
Private Markets funds invest over several years. They call capital only when concrete investments or loans are imminent, allowing investors to retain the uncommitted portion of their capital in the interim.
