Readiness in Private Equity Nexus is the state in which a programme's evidence, governance and documentation let a competent institution review it independently, against frameworks such as Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and Investment Advisers Act rules and Form PF. A readiness file is released only at the owner's written direction, and GRA does not approve, rate, underwrite, lend or invest.

A readiness file describes a programme's evidence, risks and governance so that an institution can carry out its own review. GRA does not approve, rate, underwrite, lend or invest, and it recommends no counterparty.
Readiness work prepares evidence for each stream. The sponsor and its advisers decide.
| Diligence stream | Climate and resilience question |
|---|---|
| Commercial | Does demand depend on weather, regulation or a carbon-intensive supply chain? |
| Operational | Are sites, suppliers and logistics exposed to hazards within the hold period? |
| Financial | Do refinancing and exit assumptions survive a transition or hazard scenario? |
| Insurance | Is property and business interruption cover available at current terms for the sites? |
| Legal and regulatory | Which disclosure and conduct rules will apply at exit? |
A typical holding period is short relative to climate change, but hazards are already present and transition policy changes inside it. The risk that matters most at exit is a buyer's view of the asset's longer horizon. Topic depth at physical risk to assets and exit and liquidity.
A file is released only at the programme owner's written direction, to a party the owner chooses, with no fee tied to any transaction.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Readiness file | A document set describing a programme's evidence, risks, governance and data so that a competent institution can carry out its own independent review; it is not an approval, rating or offer of finance. |
| Due diligence | The independent investigation a lender or investor carries out before committing finance. |
| Environmental and social safeguards | Requirements lenders set so financed projects avoid, minimise and offset harm to people and the environment. |
| General partner | The manager that runs a private fund and controls its investments. |
