How to backlever coinvest?

I work at a large institutional family office and we have the ability to coinvest on annual basis into private deals (growth equity, LBO coinvest). Firm does not provide leverage to employees.

Anyone have ideas on how I can backlever my coinvest? I have several 100k in PA with margin account. Thinking about using public margin to fund additional private coinvest.

Assume you’re investing with no fees / no carry … is there some mechanism where you’d start having to pay carry / backpay fees on your coinvest if you leave the firm?
