Depending on the nature of their operations, strategies and investments, private fund managers have access to a number of different sources of financing. A recent webinar presented by The Hedge Fund Law Report provided an overview of the following types of financing arrangements used by private funds: total return swap (TRS) financing, structured repurchase agreements (repos), prime broker (PB) financing, special purpose vehicle (SPV) financing and subscription credit facilities. Dechert partner Matthew Kerfoot spoke during the program, which was titled “An Introduction to Fund Finance Structures.”
