START A CONVERSATION

Discuss Your Next Capital Raise

Share a brief overview of your fund, platform or transaction, the capital required and your expected timetable.

Discuss a Mandate

Before the first LP meeting

Fundraising preparation

A practical checklist for a manager preparing an institutional fundraising campaign.

Start with the investment case

Explain what the fund will invest in, why the opportunity exists, how the team can execute and how the portfolio will be built. Fund size should follow the strategy and capacity to deploy capital.

Make the track record assessable

Identify the responsible team members, the firms at which investments were made and the current realization status. Present the context, methodology and limitations alongside performance figures.

Prepare for the next question

Connect the deck to the DDQ and data room. Make ownership of information requests clear and prepare the team to discuss investment, operational and governance questions consistently.

Set campaign responsibilities

Agree target markets, LP relationship ownership, investor exclusions, approval of materials and reporting. A campaign works better when the manager, placement adviser and legal advisers know who owns each workstream.

Discuss Your Fundraising Plans

Build an investor map that serves the strategy

International LP engagement

How to prioritize Europe, the Middle East and the United States without treating coverage as a list of cities.

Begin with allocation fit

Segment prospective LPs by strategy, investment horizon, preferred structure and commitment size. A relationship is useful only when the proposition fits the investor’s allocation priorities.

Account for the decision process

Understand the route from an introductory meeting to diligence and investment committee. Identify which information is required and who will lead the dialogue.

Assign coverage deliberately

Agree how existing relationships, new introductions and selected regional coverage will be handled. Track feedback and the next action for each conversation.

Connect coverage to preparation

A manager entering a new investor market needs a consistent proposition and material that can support informed scrutiny. Geography alone is not a capital-raising strategy.

Discuss Your Fundraising Plans

Fund capital or transaction capital?

Capital advisory

Clarify the mandate before selecting an investor audience and preparing materials.

Fund placement

A fundraise asks LPs to assess the team, strategy, portfolio construction and fund structure. The process centers on a repeatable investment program and the manager’s ability to execute it.

Transaction and platform equity

A sponsor raising equity for a specific opportunity needs a business plan, capital stack, ownership and governance proposal, and an explanation of the investment and exit assumptions.

Debt advisory

A lender assesses cash flows, repayment capacity, security, covenants and execution conditions. Financing terms need to be considered alongside the business plan and equity requirements.

Choose the scope

Start with the capital required and the support needed. The mandate may cover a broader campaign or a defined part of the process; the investor or lender audience follows from that choice.
