Fund, general information: documenting the vehicle itself, not just the pitch
This section of the DDQ asks an allocator's real question about the fund vehicle: exactly what it is, exactly how it is structured, and whether the answer matches every other document in the room.
The DDQ's fund section documents the vehicle an LP would actually be committing capital to: its legal structure, whether it uses parallel funds or feeder vehicles, its target and hard cap, and its basic economics at a glance. None of this is new information to the GP. What makes the section hard is that every figure in it has to match the key terms sheet and the LPA precisely, since a mismatch reads as a governance concern rather than a rounding difference.

What this section documents
- Legal structure and domicile of the fund vehicle itself, separate from the management company's own structure covered in the firm section.
- Parallel funds, feeder vehicles, or blocker entities, if any, and the reason each exists.
- Target size and hard cap, stated consistently with the key terms sheet.
- Investment period and fund term, including any extension mechanics, consistent with what the LPA actually specifies.
Why "approximately consistent" is not consistent
A fund's one-page summary, its key terms sheet, its pitch deck, and its DDQ response are four separate documents that all describe the same fund. An allocator who finds the target size stated as $40 million in one and "up to $45 million" in another is not reading a rounding choice. They are reading a fund that has not settled its own terms, which is a governance signal regardless of which number happens to be the accurate one. Settling the fund's own general information once, and pulling every document from that single source, is what prevents this.
What a first-time manager gets wrong here
The most common mistake is treating this section as marketing copy rather than as a factual record, describing the fund the way the GP wants it perceived rather than the way it is actually structured today. A fund still finalizing its parallel-vehicle structure with counsel should say so plainly rather than describing the eventual structure as if it were already in place. An allocator checking this section against the LPA later is checking for exactly that gap.
Every figure in the fund's general information section needs to match the key terms sheet and the LPA exactly. A number that shifts between documents is read as a governance question, not an arithmetic error.
