Family Office & Private Equity Dealmakers Breakfast Series: Limited Partners & the Fundraising Environment

Fundraising for alternative investments—and private equity funds, in particular—constitutes a unique market environment. Limited partnerships (LPs) are committing larger sums to fewer funds, while smaller and newer funds are finding it more difficult to raise capital. The percentage of funds raised in the $250 million to $1 billion range has fallen to about 26% of overall fundraising, down from 35% in 2010. In many cases, the relatively few funds that do get capitalized are industry-specific and have carved out niches for themselves in sectors or markets less exposed to record valuations. In addition, LPs are increasingly looking for direct investments and co-investment opportunities. Join the conversation as Richard B. Holbrook, Jr. (DC partner) moderates a panel featuring Chrystalle Anstett, Managing Director, Eaton Partners, LLC; Susanne Forsingdal, Managing Director, Allianz Capital Partners; Katherine Hill Ritchie, Founder, Private Capital Investments, LLC.; and Michelle Jacobi, Principal, VCP Advisors LLC.

The Family Office & Private Equity Dealmakers Breakfast Series programs are invitation only and focused on senior‐level professionals from family office groups, private equity funds, and other institutional investors.
