• CAPITAL CALL
  
  when a private equity fund manager (usually a "general partner" in a partnership) requests that an investor in the fund (a "limited partner") provide additional capital. Usually a limited partner will agree to a maximum investment amount and the general partner will make a series of capital calls over time to the limited partner as opportunities arise to finance startups and buyouts.
