E22 • Nov 21, 2023 • 59 mins

Alex Edelson of Slipstream Investors, sits down with David Weisburd and Erik Torenberg to discuss the four sources of alpha for emerging managers (Sourcing, Picking, Winning, and Value-Add). We’re proudly sponsored by Bidav Insurance Group, visit lux-str.com if you’re ready to level up your insurance plans.

Key Points

  • A good LP is someone who moves quickly, is transparent, wires capital promptly without needing reminders, reads updates, sends thoughts, and is open about their investment decisions and performance.
  • Grade LPs can constructively challenge GPs, assisting with strategy, portfolio construction, follow-on decisions, and more, all while maintaining a supportive, deferential, and trusting relationship.
  • Emerging managers don't necessarily need to be great fundraisers to be successful; they can be excellent investors even if fundraising isn't their strong suit, and this can be a source of alpha for LPs who can identify their potential early on.
