Buyouts Insider’s October 2021 Deal Sourcing in the Mid-Market Special Report includes a keynote interview by GCM Grosvenor’s Co-Investment Team, detailing the importance and process of sourcing the right deals, choosing the right partner, and highlighting GCM Grosvenor’s experience in doing both.
In the interview, Lee Brashear, Jason Metakis, and Kevin Nickelberry discuss why co-investments are beneficial for investors, how deal sourcing for co-investments differs between the mid-market and large-cap market, and dig into how to source the right co-investment deal with the right sponsor. They explain how having a large platform of relationships with private equity firms and other managers gives GCM Grosvenor early access to an array of deals. They also share examples of successful co-invest deals we have done in the past.
The interview also highlights the team’s focus on small and emerging managers and discusses how investing with those managers as they are starting up can set up success in the future as they raise more capital and remember the support they received during their early deals.

We explore two segments of the market in which we believe there is a particular opportunity to “have your cake and eat it too” by both buying at an attractive entry price as well as partnering with the right sponsor to drive value creation. These two segments are family-owned businesses and public-to-private transactions.
Here we spotlight three market trends that are currently creating opportunities in private credit and examine certain execution challenges that have precluded many investors from implementing credit co-investments. We also discuss why we believe GCM Grosvenor is well-suited to mitigate these challenges and deliver the benefits of private credit co-investing to our clients, in ways that suit them best.
