Issues to Consider

  • Check legal agreements for what may be stipulated there concerning disbursements
  • Who within the Fund Manager is responsible for handling the disbursement request, and is responsible for approving the disbursement from the Fund? What are your Fund Manager’s internal approval processes for cash flows to and from the Fund? Who receives copies?
  • Is the Investee’s draw down notice satisfactory? Does it provide sufficient information about intended use of the capital, account details, timing specifications?
  • Are other Funds or investors co-investing into this Investee alongside your Fund? Are they ready to disburse on time?
  • Ensure that your Investee puts the disbursed capital to its intended use. Monitor that your Investee has sufficient internal checks and balances in place to prevent misuse of capital.
