Continuation Vehicles

THE MECHANISM

How it works

The manager arranges a sale from an older fund to a new vehicle, with some investors cashing out and others rolling their exposure.

THE EVIDENCE

What to measure

Examine third-party price discovery, conflicts committees, fee resets, rollover participation and financing terms.

THE STRESS CHANNEL

When the mechanism matters

When exits slow, continuation vehicles may preserve holding periods but make independent valuation especially important.

Interpretation trap

A continuation transaction is not necessarily a cash exit for the entire investor base.

RESEARCH METHOD

How to verify the claim

Begin with the underlying balance-sheet, contract or market-series evidence rather than a secondary headline. Check the definition of each exposure, its reporting date, and the institution or jurisdiction to which it applies. For continuation vehicles, a useful starting route is: ILPA continuation-fund guidance and transaction disclosures.
