In the alternative investment and hedge fund industry, a gate is a protective liquidity provision or clause written into a fund's operating agreement that allows management to temporarily restrict, limit, or suspend investors' ability to redeem and withdraw their capital. Funds typically invoke a gate during periods of extreme market volatility or heavy investor redemptions to prevent a disorderly liquidation of underlying portfolio assets, ensuring equitable treatment for all remaining shareholders while managing cash flow pressures.
