Operationally, the fund usually does **not** just end.
- The **LPA controls** the process through a **key person / key individual clause**
- If triggered, it often:
- **pauses new investments**
- may **pause future capital calls**
- allows ongoing **portfolio management and admin** to continue
- LPs may have rights to:
- approve a **successor**
- appoint a replacement
- vote on **wind-down or GP removal**, depending on the documents
For solo GPs, this is why a written **succession plan**, backup decision-making support, and clear governance matter.
