medium · FRM Part 2 Risk & Investment Management

When modeling the liquidity of an alternatives program, why should capital calls be assumed to 'accelerate' during a stressed regime?

  1. Bank regulators force GPs to call capital immediately in order to improve their systemic NSFR ratios.
  2. GPs often find 'distressed' opportunities during crashes and call committed capital to take advantage of them.
  3. LPs are legally required by contract to fund all remaining commitments within 30 days once the market falls 20%.
  4. Capital call schedules are negatively correlated with realized market volatility purely by mathematical construction.
