Re-Up Economics: Fireside Chat on IR as Competitive Advantage in a Tight LP Market
An in-depth look at private equity waterfall calculation mechanics — preferred returns, GP catch-up, carried interest, and building a waterfall model that is auditable and defensible.
About This Event
Re-ups used to be a rubber stamp. They aren’t anymore.
In 2026, LPs are concentrating commitments into fewer GPs. Endowments have cut their GP count by 20% on average over three years. Sovereign funds are consolidating allocations. Consultants are pushing LPs toward fewer, deeper relationships. Every GP is fighting to stay in the top tier — and the firms winning re-ups aren’t always the ones with the best returns. They’re the ones with the IR operations that make the LP’s job easier.
The question for GPs isn’t whether LP expectations have changed. It’s how — how to operationalize IR, how to reduce LP friction, how to differentiate beyond returns, and how to stay in the set when capital is concentrating.
You know there’s a different playbook now.
Join mid-market GPs and Alex Churchill, CRO of Equiforte, for a private, 45-minute fireside chat on the operational economics of LP retention — what drives re-ups when returns alone aren’t enough.
What you'll get
LP behavior benchmarks from 70 GPs and institutional LPs on:
- What actually drives re-up decisions
- Where GPs lose allocation
- IR operational gaps
- Signals LPs use to concentrate capital
- Candid, peer-level discussion on what’s actually working in 2026
This will be a peer conversation about the operational challenge GPs are navigating right now.
