Secondaries Model

Hi all - does anyone on here have an example of a LP-led Secondaries model that they would be willing to share? Feel free to DM.

I've had a thorough search and there's a remarkable scarcity of these kinds of materials online. While I understand why this might be the case (proprietary etc), it's still surprising an enterprising individual hasn't prepared an example model / course (at least that I can find).

I've prepared a couple of LP-led models now using helpful insights from kind people on this forum and elsewhere, but I'm really keen to see what best practice looks like if possible.

I'm specifically interested in LP-leds given there's plenty of available resources on GP-leds / SACV modelling.

Sincerely, Kenneth

At a basic level its layed out like this:

Asset level mini LBO (depth dependant on information available) -> aggregate into Fund level Model with a waterfall (principle repayment, 8% pref, 50/100% catchup, 20% carry or deal-by-deal) -> aggregate net to LPs returns in roll-up which are gross returns to the buyer. From there you can do any structuring (deffered, leverage, earnout) you want.
