Ask what happens when demand exceeds capacity

What was the worst recent fill rate, how were unfilled requests handled, and which document proves the current cap, cadence, and discretion language?

Advisor Packet

Start with usable language, then prove the mechanics.

Say this
  1. 01
    Questions to ask the manager

    What was the lowest recent fill rate, and what drove excess requests?

  2. 02
    Questions to ask the manager

    Were unfilled requests automatically carried forward, cancelled, or required to be resubmitted?

  3. 03
    Questions to ask the manager

    What discretion does the board or manager have to reduce, suspend, or modify the program?

  4. 04
    Document checks

    Repurchase policy, tender offer statement, or shareholder report for cap and cadence.

Verify this
  • Proration

    Calculate accepted amount divided by requested amount.

  • Proration

    Check whether the document reports a proration factor directly.

  • Proration

    Look for resubmission rules or future-window treatment.

  • Fill rate

    Use the same basis for numerator and denominator.

  • Fill rate

    Check whether the source reports dollars, shares, or a proration factor.

  • Fill rate

    Compare recent fill rates across cycles before calling liquidity reliable.

Advisor Output

Use the language, then verify the source.

Questions to ask the manager

The goal is to separate normal operating mechanics from stress behavior.

  • What was the lowest recent fill rate, and what drove excess requests?
  • Were unfilled requests automatically carried forward, cancelled, or required to be resubmitted?
  • What discretion does the board or manager have to reduce, suspend, or modify the program?
Document checks

Each answer should point to the document that proves the current rule or event result.

  • Repurchase policy, tender offer statement, or shareholder report for cap and cadence.
  • Event notice or source trail for requested versus accepted amounts.
  • Risk factor or board discretion language for suspension and gating authority.
