# Understand your capital call notice When your fund's GP issues a capital call, you receive two things: 1. **An email** — a short notification with the key figures and a link to download the PDF. 2. **A PDF notice** — the formal legal document. This is the artifact your accountants file and what auditors will ask for. It is also permanently available in your Gildi portal under **Documents → Capital Call Notices**. This guide walks through every section of that PDF so you know exactly what you are looking at and what you need to do. ## Notice header > *\[Screenshot: the header section of a capital call notice PDF, showing fund name, notice date, drawdown due date, call reference, and call purpose]* | Field | What it means | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Fund name** | The fund you are an LP in. | | **Notice date** | The date the GP issued this call. The notice period (the time you have to pay) runs from this date to the drawdown due date. | | **Drawdown due date** | The date your payment must be received by the fund's collection account. Wire transfers typically take 1–2 business days, so initiate payment at least 2–3 business days before this date. | | **Call reference** | A unique ID (e.g., `GLD-CC-2026-001`). Include this reference in your wire instructions so the GP can match your payment automatically. | | **Call purpose** | A short description of why the capital is being called — for example, "Investment in Acme Portfolio Co." or "Q2 2026 management fee". | ## Your allocation section > *\[Screenshot: the LP-specific allocation section of a capital call notice PDF, showing commitment, share percentage, investment call amount, fee call amount, and net amount due]* This is the section specific to you as an LP. | Field | What it means | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Your commitment** | Your total signed commitment to the fund. | | **Your share** | Your commitment as a percentage of all active LP commitments. This is always your allocation percentage for a standard pro-rata call. | | **Investment call amount** | Your share of capital being called for an investment (if applicable). | | **Fee call amount** | Your share of the management fee being called (if applicable). | | **Equalization amount** | A catch-up amount if you joined the fund after the first close. Covers prior calls you were not part of, plus interest. See [equalization explained](/methodology/_equalization.md). | | **Gross call amount** | Sum of investment + fee + equalization amounts before any offsets. | | **Recall offset** | If this call is a recall, the amount satisfied from your previously distributed recallable capital. Reduces your cash obligation. | | **Fee waiver** | If your LPA includes a fee waiver for your LP entity, the waived amount is shown here as a credit. | | **Net amount due** | **The amount you must wire.** This is what you actually pay. | ## Fund-level summary section Below your allocation, the notice shows the full fund picture: * Total call amount across all LPs * Your allocation as a percentage * Total commitments to the fund This lets you verify your share % is correct. ## Payment instructions The bottom of the notice lists: * **Account name** — the fund's legal entity name * **Bank and IBAN / account number** — the fund's collection account * **SWIFT / sort code** — for international wires * **Payment reference** — copy this exactly into your wire memo field **Important:** always include the payment reference. Without it, the GP cannot automatically match your wire to your account, which can delay confirmation even after your funds arrive. ## What to check before paying 1. **Is the net amount due correct?** Compare it against your own records of commitments drawn to date. If the figure seems wrong, contact your GP before paying — do not pay a different amount. 2. **Is the due date realistic?** Ensure you have enough lead time to initiate a wire transfer. International wires typically clear in 1–2 business days; domestic transfers may be same-day or next-day. 3. **Is the payment reference included in your wire?** Your bank may call this "payment details", "remittance information", or "memo". ## Where to find your call in the portal Log in to the Gildi portal and navigate to **Capital Calls → Upcoming**. The call appears there from the moment the GP sends notices. You can download the PDF again at any time from that screen. Once you have paid, see [Pay a capital call](/for-limited-partners/pay.md) for how to record your payment and confirm receipt in the portal. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
