Summary
Limited partners in private-equity funds are increasingly questioning the fairness of continuation funds, according to a WSJ Pro report by Chris Cumming. Continuation vehicles allow LPs to cash out their holdings in a fund, which is a key attraction, yet investor concern is rising over how these transactions are structured and priced.
The item is part of WSJ's PE Daily newsletter, which describes liquidity, or the lack of it, as a dominant theme across the private-equity industry. The same edition highlights Churchill's $1.4 billion financing for a junior-debt fund as a second liquidity-related story.
The source article is a short newsletter summary and does not provide detailed deal terms, named fund sponsors, or quantified LP objections, so the specifics of the fairness concerns are not described here.
