NEW YORK, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Buyouts, in partnership with Gen II Fund Services, LLC, today released the fourth annual 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 compiles survey results of 105 emerging managers and 61 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 as well as the impacts of Covid-19 on emerging managers and investor appetites.
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
Overall, the survey covered nearly 70 data points. The Buyouts Emerging Manager Report can be downloaded at: https://bit.ly/2E5dIiK.
"We are grateful for the market's overwhelming responsiveness to this year's survey, especially during this unique time" said Jeff Gendel, Principal at Gen II Fund Services. "Although there are signs that fundraising may be prolonged, we are pleased to see resilient interest in emerging managers by the institutional investor community. We are further encouraged by the market's view that an experienced fund administrator is an important differentiator for the emerging manager. We thank the PEI research and editorial team for their efforts and collaboration on this definitive annual survey."
Chase Collum, Special Projects Editor at Private Equity International, said, "This year's survey is especially poignant in that it shows that investors' theses around emerging managers hold true even in the face of an economic downturn. Emerging managers fill a critical niche in the private equity world, and investor appetite for that niche remains strong. As with previous editions, this year's data will serve as a benchmark on the status of the emerging manager market. We are fortunate to be able to produce this report in partnership with Gen II Fund Services, LLC."
