As highlighted in the latest edition of #AGEFILuxembourg by Marceau Visano and Johanna Fournier, the popularity of #CoInvestment transactions across the #InvestmentFunds industry is increasing.   ❔ But how are co-investment opportunities managed at the level of the main fund? Indeed, co-investment opportunities could be viewed as potential opposing interests between the #LimitedPartners and the #FundManagers. Marceau and Johanna clarify the market position to deal with the offering of such co-opportunities in the fund documents.   👇 Read their article to learn more about: ◾ Why potential opposing interests may exist between the limited partners and the fund manager. ◾ How the market has developed a standard approach to manage the offering of co-investment opportunities in the fund documents, combining at the same time the safeguard of the interests of the limited partners and the needed flexibility for the fund managers. #LegalAdvice #Luxembourg #LPs #GPs #Investors #Investment
