The Limited Partnership Agreement Private Equity is a foundational document used when establishing a private equity fund in Hong Kong. It is particularly relevant following the introduction of Hong Kong's Limited Partnership Fund Ordinance in 2020, which modernized the territory's fund structure regime. The agreement serves as the primary governing document that outlines the fund's structure, operation, and governance, including capital commitments, investment parameters, management responsibilities, and economic arrangements between partners. It incorporates specific provisions required by Hong Kong law while aligning with international private equity practices, making it suitable for both local and international investors. The document is crucial for funds seeking to leverage Hong Kong's position as a leading Asian financial center and its sophisticated legal and regulatory framework.
