Liquidity Illusions – Transfer Restrictions in LPAs

Liquidity Analysis

Many LPAs contain restrictive transfer clauses that significantly limit liquidity options for limited partners. Our analysis reveals how "best interest" clauses and consent hurdles can create unexpected barriers to secondary market transactions, effectively trapping capital even when market conditions favor exits.

GP consent requirements that go beyond industry standards
Vague "best interest" clauses that lack clear criteria
Transfer restrictions that persist beyond fund investment period

Key Impact Areas

  • Secondary market transaction feasibility
  • Portfolio liquidity management
  • Exit strategy flexibility
  • Capital allocation planning

Maximizing Your LPAC – Best Practices

Expanded LPAC authority beyond conflict resolution
Clear voting thresholds and decision-making processes
Information rights that enable effective oversight
