Explanation

The GP could prejudice the interests of LPs in an existing fund by establishing a fund with a similar investment strategy too soon after establishing the existing fund. Doing so can compromise the GP’s ability to implement the existing fund’s investment policy and thus dilute the return to LPs in the existing fund. It can also give rise to conflicts of interest if an investment in a portfolio company is split between different funds.

Fees on prior funds generally reduce when the fund is substantially invested or a new fund is raised.
