like brain_wash_your_face said. A PE shop normally would have the capability to source a deal and PE FoF does not. However, PE FoF normally have access to capital and PE shop may or may not for variety of reasons. So PE will then bring the deal and see if the FoF guy want to 'chip in'.

It's like you invest with Paulson and bought some Sino-Forest yourself after he (or someone in his fund) presented you the investment thesis. hahahah...
