FAQs for Limited Partners
LPs typically provide capital and have limited day-to-day control, while the GP manages the vehicle, makes investment decisions, and runs operations.
Novos uses a structured process combining thesis-fit screening, founder evaluation, market/product diligence, and risk assessment before making investment recommendations or decisions.
An LPA usually covers the fund’s purpose, GP/LP roles, fees and expenses, distribution mechanics, governance, reporting, conflicts, transfers, and fund term.
If demand exceeds available allocation, Novos applies a pre-defined allocation approach (e.g., pro-rata, priority tiers, or minimum/maximum participation rules) to keep the process fair and predictable.
Minimums depend on whether you invest via a fund, SPV/co-investment, or another structure; Novos will confirm minimums during onboarding and align them to your goals.
Timing depends on the structure: some vehicles call capital as investments are made, while others require funding per deal; Novos will provide clear timelines and instructions for each investment.
LPs typically receive a consistent cadence of updates (often quarterly) covering portfolio developments, performance summaries, notable risks, and major events, plus ad-hoc updates when something material occurs.
Fees vary by structure (fund vs SPV/co-invest). Novos will clearly outline any management fees, carried interest or performance fees, and pass-through expenses before you commit.
Depending on the vehicle and jurisdiction, LPs may need periodic confirmations (e.g., contact details, tax forms) and may receive formal notices for material changes; Novos will guide you through any required investor actions.
Novos follows documented decision-making and disclosure practices; where appropriate, LPs may have structured advisory touchpoints for major matters (e.g., conflicts, extensions, or significant deviations).
