Private equity funds typically have a fixed life span of 10 to 12 years, after which they are expected to liquidate their portfolio companies and return capital to their investors. However, in recent years, many private equity funds have faced difficulties in exiting their investments due to factors such as market volatility, sanctions and regulatory uncertainty, and operational challenges.

As a result, some funds have reached the end of their contractual term without being able to fully realize their assets and generate returns for their investors. One solution that has gained popularity among private equity managers and investors is the use of continuation funds.
