Alignment of Interest

Three-quarters of the asset manager's GP relationships were backed as first-time funds, head of Australia PE Rachael Lockyer tells PEI.

GPs that can offer a ‘holistic approach’ will benefit, Vikram Lokur, head of institutional distribution for SEA and HK, tells PEI.

Managers selling minority stakes in their businesses can have implications for LPs invested in or considering the relevant GPs' funds.

Lower mid-market GP stakes benefit from favourable supply-demand dynamics, operational impact potential and multiple paths to liquidity, say Azimut Alternative Capital Partners co-CIOs Jeffry Brown and Michael Shedosky.

In the next cycle, simplicity of mission and focus will be paramount. You need to know who you are and then deliver on that, says Permira co-CEO Dipan Patel.

Investors list the main causes of friction with private equity funds, in exclusive research released ahead of PEI’s NEXUS event in Florida.

Growth in the retail space could come to the detriment of traditional LPs and their investment interests, says the Institutional Limited Partners Association.

GPs need to be transparent with LPs about the impacts of having GP-led deals in co-investment funds, Partners Capital's head of co-investments Adam Spence tells PEI.
