As funds hit the market over the next few months, they will likely contend with what some sources have told me is 'LP fatigue'.

In this second episode of our miniseries Private Markets and the End of Cheap Money, we talk to LPs about allocation shifts, impacts on fundraising and what investors are looking for out of their GPs as rates rise.

GPs lately are doing all they can to distribute capital back to LPs. It’s all about finding paths to liquidity.

The process, known as a tender offer, is among several options GPs have to deliver liquidity back to LPs at a time when distributions and fundraising are slowing.

The proposal comes as the SEC under chairman Gary Gensler puts private equity under tighter scrutiny.
