Mid-market co-investments can be compelling with the right sourcing, say GCM Grosvenor’s Lee Brashear, Jason Metakis and Kevin Nickelberry.

Breadth and depth in sourcing require first-class data analytics but are cemented by long-standing relationships, say Bertram Capital’s Ryan Craig and David Hellier.

Dealmaking has traditionally been a highly personal business, but savvy firms are turning to data sources and technology to gain an edge, says SourceScrub CEO Tyler Fair.

An international perspective is a strong differentiator for smaller mid-market deals, say Argand Partners co-founder Heather Faust and partner Joyce Schnoedl.

Prioritizing data and process in sourcing has played out well through the past 18 months, say managing director Christen Paras and vice-president Dyana Baurley, business development professionals at MiddleGround Capital, which deployed their first fund in only three years.

Co-investment provides access to great assets at reduced economics. However, when this bull run finally ends, co-investors must be ready to get their hands dirty.

Private equity needs to get analytical on hiring, says principal on the private equity team at Churchill Asset Management, Anne Philpott.

Investors are increasingly prioritising diversity, equity and inclusion in their manager selection process, says head of Nuveen’s global client relationships Alex Prout.

At companies around the world, conversations are happening that would once have been considered taboo. That is paving the way for a more diverse, equitable and inclusive world, says Nuveen CEO Jose Minaya.

The way to embrace diversity is to listen more than you talk, says global CIO and head of investments for Nuveen Real Estate, Carly Tripp.
