Earlier this week we flagged our latest deep dive: an in-depth look at how private equity firms are dealing with various data-governance rules and how they are preparing for future laws.

Court Square Capital is letting investors vote with their feet when it comes to credit line usage. Sources have told our sister publication Buyouts that the firm is offering investors in its latest fund the choice between a structure that uses a capital-call facility and one that does not.
