Leverage Limits
Leverage limits are restrictions put on an advisor, typically governed by the fund organizational documents, which may limit the amount or type of leverage that can be used in a Fund. There could also be individual investment level leverage limits as well. Restrictions may include a limit on the maximum percentage of leverage that can be used to make new investments or on total gross asset value, limit the use of recourse vs. non-recourse debt, or place limitations on pledging investor commitments or providing Fund guarantees, among others.
