Implementation Options For Portfolio Investments

With a flexible platform, unrivaled manager access, and proven expertise, we can identify and implement portfolio investments across five different methods:  

1. Fund Investments
Investments in managers' multi-client funds; such investments are also known as primary investments. 
2. Secondary Transactions
Acquired interests in a primary fund after the fund has been at least partially deployed in underlying investments.
3. Co-Investments
Investments made directly into businesses or securities in partnership with a sponsor.
4. Direct Investments
Investments made directly into businesses or securities, without an intermediary sponsor.
5. Seed | Joint Venture | Acceleration Investments
Investments in early stage managers or first funds in return for preferential terms and a share of manager economics.
