How can PE firms survive increasingly difficult fundraising?👇 One of the reasons Private Equity is largely shrouded in mystery is its high minimum commitments (‘commits’). This makes it exclusive to institutional investors and wealthy individuals. PE firms are able to raise large funds from few investors. But as fundraising gets increasingly difficult, what options do PE firms have to increase fundraising? 💡Raising funds on deal-by-deal basis rather than locking up funds for years in a blind pool. Investors may be more willing to invest in a particular deal with disclosed details than blind pool. 💡Reducing minimum commits to attract more investors. Possible downside is the effect it may have on the PE firm’s reputation/ brand, especially where the firm has always been known to service a certain type of investors. 💡Reducing management fees. But this may be unrealistic in light of general inflation. How are you navigating the challenges of fundraising? #PrivateEquity #Fundraising
