Enfoque de Ratio de Cobertura
Metodología europea de financiación de fondos: sin tasas de anticipo individuales por inversor; en su lugar, los compromisos de LP elegibles deben cubrir la deuda total del fondo con un ratio mínimo de 1:1. Administrativamente más sencillo que el enfoque estadounidense de la base de crédito.

Subscription Credit Facility
Revolving credit facility secured by a fund's rights to call uncalled LP capital commitments. Also called 'capital call line' or 'sub line'; collateral is LP promises to pay, not assets.
Included Investor
An LP rated at or above a specified creditworthiness threshold whose uncalled commitment counts towards the subscription borrowing base at standard advance rates (85–90% for large facilities). Exclusion triggers: sovereign immunity without waiver, side letter set-off rights, failure to fund, downgrade.
Designated Investor
An LP below the Included Investor threshold (unrated, lower-rated, family office) included in the borrowing base at lower advance rates (50–75%). Inclusion typically requires all-lender consent.
