Levered Co-invest

If your firm doesn’t sponsor leverage for co-invest, how do you get access to additional funds to put in your fund?

I have heard friends taking out LOC with decent interest rates, but I was wondering if their was any banks that will work w PE professionals to provide the best rates and most amount of leverage.

First Republic is very interested as an institution in getting people in finance as clients. They bank a ton of funds: there's an institutional understanding of how bonus-driven the industry is and how carry works as a construct. That's valuable, because you're floor is now talking about what credit limit you can receive, not whether your type of income works as collateral for them.

Edit: The only knock on them is their underwriting conservatism. It's kind of known that they'll be 25% behind whatever LTV you'd get somewhere else. 

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
