How Private Equity Funds Can Scale and Generate Outsized Returns 📈 Private equity funds are in a race to scale. Why? The larger the assets under management, the greater the chance of producing outsized returns. While growing AUM can be slow and expensive, it is a necessary step for maximizing the fund’s performance. 🔍 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴: 1. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: The private equity business model focuses on raising capital to invest directly in companies through buyouts or growth capital investments. However, growing assets quickly after launch can be challenging. LPs often jump in after a fund has made several investments, creating an incentive gap that can lead investors away from managers perceived as having less deal flow. 2. 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀: As AUM grows, so do annual cash-flow requirements. This is manageable for large funds but becomes challenging for those with less than $100 million in AUM. Raising capital from investors with long time horizons can help, but these types of investments are a small part of total private equity fundraising. 3. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗣 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗣 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: The interests of GPs and LPs are rarely aligned. This misalignment grows as the fund scales. To mitigate this, GPs need structures that incentivize them to generate AUM, such as performance bonuses or increased carried interest when asset levels significantly increase. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: The cautious nature of LPs post-crisis makes it difficult for funds to scale quickly. Many LPs are conservative with their allocation decisions, making it hard to commit capital rapidly even if attractive opportunities are available.

In the past, I used to try and inflate our company's valuation during funding rounds, partly because this is what I measured our success against. However, I've recently taken a new direction. Because I intend to acquire more shares with every funding round, it is in my interest not to have an inflated valuation. The side benefit? We end up building a more sustainable business long term, and we ensure everyone makes money every step of the way.
