具有高风险高收益特征的私募基金自诞生以来吸引了无数投资者,它帮助很多投资者在短期内取得了可观的收益,但高收益必然伴随着高风险。在私募基金未取得理想的收益或甚至发生亏损后,部分投资者以基金管理人在募集、投资、投后管理、清算等过程中未适当履职为由,通过向监管部门投诉、提起诉讼或仲裁等方式要求基金管理人承担赔偿责任的案例比比皆是,对基金管理人的财务状况及后续展业造成了严重的不利影响。
本文结合清算过程中基金管理人可能出现的未适当履职及由此需承担的赔偿责任进行分析,以期引起基金管理人对基金清算工作的高度重视,避免自身及从业人员的赔偿责任。

私募基金“募投管退”等各阶段时常经历来自市场、政策及监管等种种不确定风险,这期间不仅基金管理人付出了大量的人力、物力以保障基金的正常运行和基金财产的安全,投资者也在默默期待取得理想的投资收益,而清算退出正是私募基金管理人与投资者迎来最终投资结果的阶段,清算完毕也意味着私募基金生命的终结,其重要性对于各方来说不言而喻。

私募基金的清算完毕代表着基金管理人、托管人及投资者等多方主体间法律关系的正式终结,对基金管理人、托管人而言,基金清算后将大幅减少其在投后管理中所投入的精力,且所应对的监管也会相应减少;对投资者而言,在基金清算后可以取回现有投资财产,保障自身资金的流动性;针对基金行业来说通过清算淘汰了部分“劣质”私募基金,彰显了优胜劣汰法则,可以使行业整体的发展越来越健康。
