Private Equity Fund Model Pro (American & European Waterfall)

A genuinely complete private equity fund model — and one of the very few that ship a working clawback engine (gross AND net-of-tax) AND an ILPA-ready LP summary, the two things most templates skip. Go from commitment and capital drawdown to LP-ready returns: management fees (committed → invested step-down), both the American (deal-by-deal) and European (whole-fund) distribution waterfalls on a one-cell switch, an end-of-fund clawback (gross AND net-of-tax), NAV, fund leverage, fund-level tax, a subscription line, intra-deal dividends, and multiple LP classes (side letters). Read your true Net IRR (net of fees AND carry, including residual NAV), Gross IRR, DPI / RVPI / TVPI, Net & Gross MOIC and PIC on a one-page dashboard with live charts — plus two-way sensitivity tables (Net IRR & TVPI vs exit multiple × carry). Every figure is reconciled to an independent reference engine to the cent. No macros, transparent formulas, fully editable Excel. 12 worksheets. Built for GPs pitching LPs, PE/VC analysts and fund controllers, and LPs auditing a GP’s waterfall and clawback.

A complete, audit-friendly Excel fund model that takes you from commitment and capital drawdown all the way to LP-ready returns — management fees, both American and European distribution waterfalls, an end-of-fund clawback (gross and net-of-tax), fund leverage, NAV and a full performance suite. It even outputs an ILPA-aligned LP Summary — the capital account and performance view your investors actually expect. No macros, transparent formulas, every figure reconciled to an independent reference engine, to the cent.

What makes it different

It covers the return-driving economics premium fund templates are built on — drawdown, management fees, dual waterfall, NAV, multiple LP classes, fund leverage and fund-level tax — and adds what most skip: a clawback engine (gross and net-of-tax), an ILPA-ready LP summary, GP co-investment IRR/MOIC, a subscription line and intra-deal dividends.

What’s included (12 worksheets)

  • Fund Engine — capital drawdown schedule, management fees (committed → invested step-down), NAV roll-forward
  • European Waterfall (whole-fund) and American Waterfall (deal-by-deal) — switch with one cell
  • Debt Schedule — fund-level acquisition leverage (debt drawn, capitalized interest, repayment at exit) per deal
  • Cashflows — LP net cashflows, J-curve, and gross deal cashflow
  • Dashboard — true Net IRR (net of fees AND carry), Gross IRR, DPI/RVPI/TVPI, Net & Gross MOIC, PIC, GP economics, and a clawback test
  • LP Summary (ILPA-aligned) — capital account statement + performance + annual roll-forward
  • MultiLP — multiple LP classes with side-letter economics (different fee/carry per class)
  • START HERE, Glossary, Assumptions

Core features

  • True Net IRR — net of management fees AND carried interest (via XIRR on dated cashflows), not just net-of-carry
  • Both waterfalls in one file — model the structure your LPA uses, or compare
  • Clawback that works — interim American carry trued up to the whole-fund entitlement, gross and net-of-tax
  • ILPA-ready LP Summary — hand investors a capital account + performance view in the format they expect
  • Multiple LP classes — different management fee and carried interest per class (side letters)
  • Fund leverage — a dedicated Debt Schedule: part-fund deals with debt, capitalize interest, repay at exit, and see leverage amplify the equity IRR
  • GP economics — GP commitment, GP co-investment IRR/MOIC (pari passu), plus Gross IRR alongside Net IRR
  • Intra-deal cash dividends and a subscription line (capital-call facility) for IRR uplift
  • Fund-level tax on realized gains, and a live exit-multiplier stress test
  • Transparent & auditable — every tier on its own line, no macros, no black boxes; reference-validated to the cent, with built-in reconciliation checks

Who it’s for

  • GPs / fund managers building an LP pitch, PPM exhibit, or quarterly LP report
  • PE / VC analysts and fund controllers who need a defendable, ILPA-aligned fund model
  • LPs who want to audit a GP’s waterfall and clawback

Scope

Multi-currency consolidation and a detailed GP management-company P&L (overheads) are out of scope; the model focuses on fund-level LP/GP economics, returns, leverage and tax.

Liability limited to the amount paid. Single-user license; redistribution prohibited. © 2026 FinModelAI.

Sensitivity tab: live two-way data tables show Net IRR and Net TVPI across exit-multiple × carried-interest grids — instant what-if analysis without touching the model. Net IRR and TVPI now also include residual NAV for any deal held beyond fund life, not just realized cash.
