Fund structure

GP commitment

The manager's own money invested in the fund alongside its LPs.

It is usually a low single-digit percentage of the fund, though the right number depends on the manager's wealth and fund size. Some managers contribute it in cash and others through fee waivers.

Why it matters when you raise
LPs read it as skin in the game, and a token or waived commitment invites questions.
