Zombie Fund
Definition
A private equity or venture capital fund that continues to operate beyond its intended life, holding illiquid portfolio companies that have neither achieved exit nor been written off. Zombie funds present governance challenges, carry ongoing management costs, and often reflect unrealised intangible asset potential that has failed to convert into realisable value.
