In the private equity world, partnership agreements have received praise from many corners for reducing the agency costs arising between the interests of fund managers and investors. This article sets out to assess contract design in private equity partnerships. The argument here is that the importance of many of these heralded contract design features has been overstated. Part II describes the legal rights of investors in private equity funds. By default, investors in private limited partnerships have limited rights to participate in day-to-day operations or challenge decisions of fund managers. As a result of this set of default legal rules, investors in these funds face a familiar agency problem. That is, fund managers may be emboldened to pursue their own self-interest at the expens...

Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...

An important channel through which largely unregulated hedge funds interact with regulated institutions is prime brokerage relationships. Central to these relationships is the extension of credit to hedge funds, which exposes banks to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk management (CCRM) practices, used to assess credit risk and limit counterparty exposure, are banks' first line of defense against market disruptions with potential systemic consequences. Hedge funds' unrestricted trading strategies, liberal use of leverage, opacity to outsiders, and convex compensation structure make CCRM more difficult, as they exacerbate potential market failures. While past market failures suggest that CCRM is not perfect, it remains the best initial safeguard against systemic risk; thu...
