PRIVATE EQUITY FUND FORMATION

Launching a private equity fund involves navigating various regulatory complexities and business challenges. A private equity fund encompasses unique securities, regulatory, and tax issues. Capital Fund Law Group advises emerging and established private equity fund managers on fund formation and ongoing operations.

A private equity fund's structure depends on several tax, regulatory, and financial considerations. The investors' tax needs largely drive fund structure. Private equity funds are almost always closed-end funds. A closed-end fund is an investment fund intended to last for a fixed term. 

Setting the investment terms is one of the most important aspects of forming a private equity fund. When properly structured, private equity fund offering documents contain terms that adequately protect the fund manager and are attractive to investors. Private equity fund terms are driven by the fund’s strategy, the market trends within the fund’s specific asset class, and the particular needs and objectives of the fund.
