Private Equity is Changing. Are you ready for the shift from "Capital Commitments" to "Capital Subscriptions"? For forty years, the private equity industry marched to the beat of a specific drum: the ten-year, closed-end fund. But a new machine has arrived: Permanent Capital. Marketed under banners of "Evergreen Funds," "Semi-Liquid Structures," and "Democratization," this structure promises the impossible: liquidity for illiquid assets. But when you change the structure, you change the incentives. And when you change the incentives, you change the behavior. Permanent Capital in Private Equity is an architectural analysis of this new financial machine. It is not a guide on which fund to buy, nor is it a cynical takedown of any part of the industry. Instead, it answers the key questions that marketing brochures omit: How real is liquidity in semi-liquids? What happens to governance when a manager is never forced to sell? Who sets the price in a market without buyers?
