Buyouts Insider and Gen II Fund Services release second annual Emerging Manager Report
NEW YORK (PRWEB) July 26, 2018 -- Buyouts Insider, in partnership with Gen II Fund Services, LLC, today released the second annual Private Equity Emerging Manager Report, reviewing important factors that new general partners need to consider when launching their funds, and key areas of focus for limited partners that invest with emerging managers.
The report was released in conjunction with Buyouts Insider’s Emerging Manager Connect East conference, held at the Grand Hyatt in New York today.
The report compiles survey results of more than 50 emerging managers and 40 institutional investors that seek to invest with emerging managers, gauging their views on subjects that include fundraising, fund terms and conditions, co-investment opportunities, and the due diligence process.
Among the areas explored by the survey:
• Time from initial marketing to both first and final closes
• Sourcing LP capital – where did the commitments come from?
• Hiring trends among emerging managers
• The importance of team composition versus track record from the LP perspective
• Anchor investor considerations
In addition, this year the survey asked questions regarding GP and LP views on diversity and ESG. Overall, the survey covered more than 60 data points. The Private Equity Emerging Manager Report can be downloaded at: http://pages.argosy.group/EMReport2_PEHUB/
“We are delighted to share this second annual survey with the private equity community,” said Jeff Gendel, Principal at Gen II. “Our work with the outstanding Buyouts team once again has yielded a vital primer for emerging managers and those that consider investing with them. We look forward to discussing the results with the industry throughout the year.”
David Toll, Executive Editor of Buyouts Insider, commented, “I was thrilled to work again with Gen II Fund Services LLC on the second edition of our emerging manager survey, which turned up some surprising results about this fast-growing community. I am especially pleased to share the results of our combined efforts at the Emerging Manager Connect East conference.”
