On Thursday 14 November 2024 we sponsored the Private Equity Wire EU Emerging Managers Summit in London. Co-founders Andrew Brizell and James McCarthy, together with Joe Briggs of BCF (Briggs Capital Formation), hosted two roundtable discussions which focussed on the challenges faced by emerging managers (“GPs”) looking to raise their first fund, the lessons attendees have learned from successful fundraises in the past and prevailing investor expectations. It was interesting to note the commonality of challenges faced by GPs and the broad application of the lessons learned from previous successful fundraises. We very much enjoyed the discussions and in this article we have summarised what we consider to be the key takeaways from them. https://lnkd.in/eRhEHXae

We are sponsoring the Private Equity Wire European Emerging Managers Summit in London this Thursday. Dave Bridger, Andrew Brizell and James McCarthy will be attending, so please do say hello if you spot them. Andrew and James will also be co-hosting a roundtable discussion with Joe Briggs of BCF (Briggs Capital Formation) in the afternoon. They'll be discussing a very pertinent topic - namely, what LPs are looking for in the current fundraising environment. We have our thoughts on this, but we're very much looking forward to an open discussion and to hearing from managers at different stages of the fundraising process.

Choosing a fund administrator to partner with is a decision which can significantly impact on the quality and efficiency of an emerging manager’s fund operations, their investor relations and costs.

Great to see John Scanlan and the team at Bedell Cristin picking up on our recent report on the costs of AIFMD compliance. With various routes to market available to those looking to access European capital and given the long term costs and administrative implications that flow from one's choice of fund domicile, it pays to carefully interrogate the pros and cons of different jurisdictions before making a final decision. https://lnkd.in/eYEE7Kyf
