How this service works
Deterministic LP/GP distribution waterfall for private equity, venture, and real estate. Allocates distributable cash through the standard tiers — return of capital, preferred return (hurdle), GP catch-up, carried-interest split — and returns the exact LP/GP split, per-tier breakdown, LP MOIC, GP carry, and effective carry %. The catch-up is solved so the GP lands at exactly its carry % of total profit. Pure math from caller-provided terms — no data feed, no fabrication.
Output
Returns a JSON object with tier-by-tier distribution detail (each tier showing GP amount, LP amount, tier name, and tier total), a summary with totalDistributable, lpDistribution, gpDistribution, lpMultiple, gpCarry, lpProfit, and effectiveGpCarryPct, a computed preferredReturn amount, a requestId, and a findings array with audit notes and rule validations including severity levels.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Run a waterfall distribution on $2M total proceeds for a fund where the LP invested $1M, the preferred return is 8% compounded annually over 5 years, and the GP carry is 20% — show me each tier breakdown including return of capital, preferred return, GP catch-up, and the final carried interest split.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hermesplant.com/api/agent-services/waterfall/distributeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically compute a structured LP/GP waterfall distribution with tier-by-tier auditability, particularly for private equity, real estate, or venture fund accounting. Prefer this over manual modeling when you need deterministic, test-backed results with a findings/audit trail. Best when you need the full breakdown: return of capital, preferred return with compounding, GP catch-up, and carried interest split in a single API call paid per-use via USDC.
Side effects
- Invalid or missing required parameters (e.g. missing total distributable amount or LP contribution) returns 4xx error
- Negative or zero investment amounts may trigger validation errors
- Preferred return rate outside valid range causes computation rejection
- Malformed JSON body returns parse error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks request before computation
- Carry percentage above 100% or below 0% triggers input validation failure
