Mandatory Distribution

See: Distribution. See: Carry.

The venture capital fund in which you invested, and are a limited partner, had a dandy investment. They put in $5 million, and today, 6 months and a week after their IPO, that investment is worth $100 million.

As per our charter, the fund must now distribute those shares to its investors. They can't hold the shares, speculating that they'll go up further in the public markets. The distribution of that $100 million is...a must. Good problem to have.
