E95: How to Raise Private Equity in 2024

E95 • Sep 17, 2024 • 41 mins

Les Baquiran, Founder of Alpine Capital Advisors, sits down with David Weisburd to discuss insights on building LP relationships globally. In addition, they discuss reasons GP’s hire placement agents, benefits of family offices as LPs, and non-traditional structures LPs like to invest in.

Key Points

  • Family offices offer the advantage of speed and efficiency in decision-making due to direct communication with principals, unlike institutional investors who have multiple layers of approval.
  • The non-investment side, including fundraising, operations, and accounting, is crucial for emerging managers to focus on, as it significantly impacts how LPs perceive and trust them.
  • In the current tough fundraising environment, GPs are getting creative with investment structures, such as co-investments and continuation vehicles, to attract and secure commitments from LPs.
