Does GIPs state that TWRR has to be used for all asset categories?

I believe that is the preferred method.

If I invest in a privae equity fund i.e. as a Limited Partner, I am not sure how I have discretion over timing of the cash flow, the General Partner does.

1morelevel, maybe it is late in the day, but my point is that only if I am the general partner, I have discretion as to the timing of the cash flows, the same is not the case when I am a limited partner. So if i do not have discretion in the timing of cash flows, MWR is not the preferred method. Unless your point is only from the perspective of the General Partner.

Yes only from GP perspective.

Just remember that PE is SI-IRR, that's all we really need to know. The whole discussion about whether the manager has discretion over portfolio cash flows was really meant for traditional portfolios.
