LP Incentivisation

Limited partners are grappling with bonus structures that vary widely across the largest private equity firms. Managers are adjusting carried interest models to retain top-tier LPs, with some offering early co-investment rights and fee waivers. These shifts reflect a broader push to align incentives in a competitive capital-raising environment.

Deal Activity

Century Park Capital Partners’ Total Access Elevator fund acquired Los Angeles-based American Elevator, an independent provider of elevator maintenance, repair, and modernization. The deal expands Century Park’s portfolio in the fragmented vertical transportation sector. Terms were not disclosed, but industry sources estimate the valuation at $150–$200 million.

Industry Events

Tech Crunch is offering a BOGO deal for its 2026 Disrupt conference, granting 50% off a second pass for co-founders, partners, or colleagues. The promotion reflects intensifying competition among venture and private equity events to attract dealmakers and limited partners ahead of the fund-raising cycle.
