Exempted Limited Partnership Act (As Revised)

October 17, 2026

An exempted limited partnership has at least one general partner and one limited partner. It has no separate legal personality; the general partner conducts its business and holds partnership property on its behalf. Common applications include private equity, venture capital and private credit funds. The partnership agreement governs commitments, distributions and governance, subject to the Act. Limited-partner liability is subject to statutory rules, including safe-harbour activities, and is not determined simply by whether an investor participates in a discussion.
