Capital Call

A capital call is a formal request made by a general partner (GP) to limited partners (LPs) in a private investment fund, asking them to provide a portion of the capital they previously committed. This mechanism is commonly used in private equity, venture capital, and other alternative investment structures where funds are not required upfront but are drawn down as needed for investments or operational expenses.

In the context of family office software, capital calls are tracked to ensure timely payments, accurate reporting, and alignment with investment agreements. Software tools often help automate notifications, monitor outstanding commitments, and integrate capital call data into broader portfolio management systems. This ensures that family offices can efficiently manage liquidity and compliance while supporting their investment strategies.
