Six investor types

Each type page shows its investors and the commitments we can date.

Family officesA family office is a private investment vehicle that manages the wealth of one family (single-family) or several families (multi-family).
Endowments and foundationsEndowments and foundations are tax-exempt institutions that invest a perpetual pool of capital to fund a university, charity or grant-making mission.
Pension fundsA pension fund is a pooled retirement scheme that invests contributions to pay benefits, usually through a diversified portfolio that includes private funds.
Sovereign wealth fundsA sovereign wealth fund is a state-owned investment vehicle that manages national reserves or resource revenue for future generations.
Funds of fundsA fund of funds is an investment vehicle that builds a portfolio of underlying private funds.
RIAs and wealth managersA registered investment adviser or wealth manager advises individuals and families on their portfolios, and increasingly allocates client money to private funds and evergreen vehicles.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which type should I start with?

Start from the mandate. Family offices and funds of funds move faster on a first fund; pensions and endowments take longer and usually run a formal process. The use-case pages describe each approach.
