Certain of the hedge fund and private equity fund investments in which the Company is invested are no longer active and are in the process of disposing of their underlying investments. Distributions from such funds are remitted to investors as the fund's underlying investments are liquidated. As of June 30, 2021, $11.7 million in distributions were outstanding from these investments.
Investments in private equity funds are generally subject to a "lock-up" period during which investors may not request a redemption. Distributions prior to the expected termination date of the fund may be limited to dividends or proceeds arising from the liquidation of the fund's underlying investments. In addition, certain private equity funds provide an option to extend the lock-up period at either the sole discretion of the fund manager or upon agreement between the fund and the investors.
As of June 30, 2021, investments in private equity funds were subject to lock-up periods as follows:

Investment in Third Point Enhanced LP
On August 6, 2020, SiriusPoint, SiriusPoint Bermuda and Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd. (“Third Point Re USA”) entered into the Third Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (“2020 LPA”) of Third Point Enhanced LP (“TP Enhanced Fund”) which became effective on February 26, 2021, except for the amendment to the calculation of the loss recovery account which became effective on December 31, 2020. In accordance with the 2020 LPA, Third Point Advisors LLC (“TP GP”) serves as the general partner of TP Enhanced Fund.
The TP Enhanced Fund investment strategy, as implemented by Third Point LLC, is intended to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in both long and short investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics across select asset classes, sectors and geographies. Third Point LLC identifies investment opportunities via a bottom-up, value-oriented approach to single security analysis supplemented by a top-down view of portfolio and risk management. Third Point LLC seeks dislocations in certain areas of the capital markets or in the pricing of particular securities and supplements single security analysis with an approach to portfolio construction that includes sizing each investment based on upside/downside calculations, all with a view towards appropriately positioning and managing overall exposures.
Under the 2020 LPA, the Company has the right to withdraw funds monthly from TP Enhanced Fund to meet capital adequacy requirements and to satisfy financing obligations. The Company may also withdraw its investment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2020 LPA, including, to meet capital adequacy requirements, to prevent a negative credit rating, for risk management purposes or to satisfy financing obligations, subject to certain limitations on such withdrawals as specified in the 2020 LPA, and may withdraw its investment in full on the first quarter end date after the five-year anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition of Sirius Group (i.e. March 31, 2026) and each successive two-year anniversary of such date. The Company is also entitled to withdraw funds from the TP Enhanced Fund in order to satisfy its risk management guidelines, upon prior written notice to the TP GP, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the sum of (x) the aggregate opening balances of our capital account and (y) the aggregate amount of capital contributions credited to our capital account.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no unfunded commitments related to TP Enhanced Fund.
Investment in Third Point Venture Offshore Fund I LP
On March 1, 2021, SiriusPoint Bermuda entered into the Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (“2021 Venture LPA”) of Third Point Venture Offshore Fund I LP (“TP Venture Fund”) which became effective on March 1, 2021. In accordance with the 2021 Venture LPA, Third Point Venture GP LLC (“TP Venture GP”) serves as the general partner of TP Venture Fund.
The TP Venture Fund investment strategy, as implemented by Third Point LLC, is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through a concentrated portfolio of investments in privately-held companies, primarily in the expansion through late/pre-IPO stage. The TP Venture Fund may also invest in early stage companies. Due the nature of the fund, withdrawals are not permitted. Distributions prior to the expected termination date of the fund include, but are not limited to, dividends or proceeds arising from the liquidation of the fund's underlying investments.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $16.0 million of unfunded commitments related to TP Venture Fund.
