Where the capital sits
The investor types for this job
Open a type to see its investors and their latest commitments.
The workflow
From a universe to a working list
- 01
Define the mandate
Define the strategy, vintage, cheque size and geography. A target list without these filters is just a directory.
- 02
Screen the right investor types
Family offices for speed, funds of funds for first-fund diversification, pensions and endowments for larger tickets and longer cycles.
- 03
Check recent activity
A dated commitment in the last 24 months is a better signal than a profile that has not changed in five years.
- 04
Prioritise by fit
Rank the 30–50 investors where the strategy fills a portfolio gap.
- 05
Reach out through the firm
Use the firm channel, with a short note and a data room that matches the investor's diligence process.
- 06
Keep the list dated
Track every conversation against the source date. Update the list when a new commitment or a new mandate appears.

What makes an investor list go wrong
- Check activity before outreach. A named contact with no recent dated commitment is a cold lead.
- AUM says little about cheque size. A large family office can write a small first ticket, and a small one can anchor a first fund.
- Announcements trail closes. A pension commitment announced in 2026 may have closed a year earlier.
- Do not treat a fund-of-funds holding as an investor commitment to your fund. It is a look-through position.
- Emerging-manager programmes are not a shortcut. They have their own eligibility rules, calendars and reporting requirements.
