Cerberus Funds Set Strict Lock Ups for Investors

Cerberus is launching two new hedge funds and these funds may bar investors from withdrawing their money for at least 3 years in exchange for lower management fees. Cerberus' two multi-billion dollar funds will specialize in distressed investments. The use of a lock up period is controversial because investors are unable to take their investment out if the fund starts to do poorly. Yet managers insist that it will be better long-term because it allows a hedge fund to invest without fear that limited partners will take back their pledged capital. Lock ups are employed so that investors do not leave a fund en masse causing it to collapse or sell assets for a low price in a down market. Watch the video here:
