[ The Symptom
"We are transferring our star portfolio asset into a continuation fund to secure another three years of growth. The secondary buyers are demanding that our deal partners roll over 100% of their accrued carried interest and compress our management fee to 1%. Our internal IT team tried to configure our automated general ledger engine to handle these custom fee and carry splits, but the system keeps crashing because it cannot reconcile the non-standard structures, stalling the transaction.".
[ The Reality & Truth
The Layman's Reality
Moving an asset to a new continuation fund requires highly customized, deal-by-deal negotiations with buyers. They will demand that your team reinvests their profits (carry) and slashes their fees. Trying to force your standard accounting software to automate these complex, one-off legal calculations is impossible and will break your databases, delaying the entire deal.
The Technical Truth
GP-led secondaries utilize bespoke carry roll-over ratios and compressed management fee percentages that are negotiated on a highly variable, deal-by-deal basis by external M&A counsel. Rebuilding these non-standardized inter-entity cash-flow allocations into an automated general ledger engine causes system bloat and inflates technical maintenance costs.
