As hedge funds move into relatively illiquid assets in an effort to improve returns, traditional short-term margin and repurchase agreement financing may no longer be appropriate or available. Instead, hedge fund managers are pursuing short- and long-term financing through prime brokers, private-equity-style capital call facilities, term facilities and special purpose vehicles. See “Can a Capital on Call Funding Structure Fit the Hedge Fund Business Model?” (Nov. 5, 2009). A recent presentation by Dechert partner Matthew K. Kerfoot provided an overview of these types of financing arrangements and some of their key negotiating points. This article summarizes his insights. For additional commentary from Kerfoot, see “The Current State of Direct Lending by Hedge Funds: Fund Structures, Tax and Financing Options” (Oct. 27, 2016); and “Dechert Panel Discusses Recent Hedge Fund Fee and Liquidity Terms, the Growth of Direct Lending and Demands of Institutional Investors” (Jun. 14, 2016).
