Your Impact

Capital Call Financing (CCF)

The Private Lending Capital Call Financing team provides fund-level financing in the form of capital call / subscription facilities collateralized by the uncalled capital of a fund’s limited partners. These facilities enhance fund returns, accelerate access to capital, reduce capital call frequency, and bridge to asset-secured leverage. The CCF business is an integral part of the Private Bank’s alternative asset lending capabilities, enabling the Bank to offer credit facilities at both the GP investor level for personal liquidity and cash flow management and the fund level to enhance financial flexibility throughout a fund’s life. 

CCF Underwriting assesses, documents, and monitors the credit and business risks incurred in CCF transactions. The underwriting process includes a thorough analysis of the private equity fund sponsor, the collateral (limited partners committing to the fund), and the loan structure. CCF Underwriting also ensures that the underwriting standards approved by the bank are adhered to in the loan approval process, with exceptions appropriately mitigated and documented.

Private Lending is a part of GS Private Bank (PB), which is a business initiative of Goldman Sachs. CCF employees are employees of Goldman Sachs Bank USA.
