LP Toolkit/LP Maximum Fund Commitment Calculator

LP Maximum Fund Commitment Calculator

Check how much room an LP has for a fund investment or re-up under its single-fund limit.

Questions this calculator answers
  1. If our $4 billion portfolio has a 1.5% single-fund limit, how much can we hold in one fund?
  2. If we already have $42 million in that fund, how much room is left?
  3. How much room would we have if our portfolio fell to $3 billion?

How it is calculated

Maximum fund exposure = total portfolio × maximum single-fund percentage

Subtract current exposure from the limit to find the room left. This does not forecast changes in NAV.

Read the result in context

Use your LP portfolio policy to set a dollar limit for fund investments and re-ups. Follow the exposure definition in that policy. Current NAV, commitments, and NAV plus unfunded commitments are different measures.

What exposure basis should I use?

Use the basis specified by the policy limit—often current NAV, commitment or NAV plus unfunded.

Can current exposure exceed the maximum?

If it does, the fund is already above your stated limit. The calculator will flag the input rather than show room for more.

Does the maximum change with markets?

Yes. The dollar limit changes when your total portfolio value changes, even if the percent limit stays the same.
