Capital Call Preparation Agent

Accurate capital call notices whose amounts tie to the fund's needs and each investor's remaining commitment

Capital Call Preparation Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A capital call goes to every limited partner, and one wrong amount means an awkward correction. This agent reads the pipeline of investments to fund, management fees and expenses, and works out the total the fund needs. It calculates each investor's share from commitments and ownership percentages, including any investors with different fee terms. It checks that the per-investor amounts add exactly to the total and that no investor is called above their remaining commitment. If a difference appears, it finds the cause, such as a rounding rule, a default or a transfer of interest, and recalculates. It then drafts notices with the amount, due date and wiring details. The finance lead and a partner approve before notices are sent. Edge case: an investor with only 4% of commitment left is capped, and the shortfall is shared among the others.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

Each investor pays their ownership share of the call, capped at their remaining commitment. The sum of calls must equal the total need after rounding rules.

  • Cap each call at the investor's remaining commitment
  • Redistribute any shortfall by ownership percentage among uncapped investors
  • Round amounts to the cent and put any difference on the largest investor
  • Require two approvals before any notice goes out

An example run

What happensA $6.2 million call needed split across 18 investors. The sum of notices came to $6,200,004, so the check failed. A rounding rule had added a cent to four investors. The agent put the difference on the largest investor and tied out. One investor had only $90,000 left on a $140,000 share, so it was capped and $50,000 was shared across the others. Both approvers signed.
