Private equity firms are increasingly turning to semiliquid fund structures, such as interval funds and tender offer funds, to attract capital from wealthy investors. Asset management partner Chelsea Childs highlights the importance of partnerships in gaining access to financial advisers and affluent individuals in The Wall Street Journal PE Pro. She also notes the challenges of managing liquidity in semiliquid vehicles and the reputational risks if firms cannot meet client demand for redemptions.
