Launching a private fund in the United States can be an almost daunting endeavor, fraught with regulatory hurdles, operational complexities, and significant time and financial investments. From hedge funds and private equity to real estate funds, the challenges are multifaceted, and the traditional route to launching a private fund can be a lengthy process, often taking anywhere from 6 to 18 months. That's why many emerging managers are turning to platform solutions, which can cut that time drastically. Greg Poapst of Fundviews Capital LLC explains more in his latest article for our blog. https://lnkd.in/e6Q9AvfC #alternativeinvestments #privatefunds #fundmanagers #emergingmanagers #assetmanagers

The experience of sophisticated investors over the years regarding hard to predict bad news — financial crisis, revelations of fraudulent behavior on the part of some money managers, and occasional poor industry wide performance among alternative strategy portfolio managers — have contributed over the years to extending the length of the selling cycle (the cycle through which a potential investor moves from prospect to allocator). The majority of hedge fund managers should look to greatly increase their level of communication with both current and potential investors if they wish to make it through the due diligence gauntlet of skeptical sophisticated investors. Frumerman & Nemeth CEO, Bruce Frumerman, explains more in his blog post this month. https://lnkd.in/d9J7bBbU #alternativeinvestments #assetraising #capitalraising #hedgefunds #fundadministration

One of the stories of the private markets in recent years has been the explosion in growth of family offices. Some of those family offices allocate to third party fund managers, many in the private markets. Some of them simply invest from their own balance sheet, competing with private equity, real assets and venture capital funds for portfolio companies and hedge funds for more liquid investments. But one similarity with the private equity industry, for example, is the lower adoption of the use of third-party #fundadministrators to support their middle and back-office function. Anthony D. Mascia explains the benefits to #familyoffices of hiring a #fundadministration provider in his latest article for our blog - click the link below to read. https://lnkd.in/ej-V6TNM #alternativeinvestments #hedgefunds #privateequity #privatewealth

It should not be a surprise that transaction activity in the private equity industry has slowed in the past 12-18 months. On the buying side, higher interest rates have had the impact of making the debt that supports leveraged buyouts more expensive, reducing demand from buyout fund managers. On the selling side, PE shops looking to offload portcos have only brought assets to market that they felt would hold up from a pricing perspective, or if they had old vintage funds with very little assets left to liquidate. But with more than $1trn of dry powder on the sidelines, will PE firms end up being forced buyers? Fundviews Capital LLC Managing Partner, Greg Poapst, looks at that, and the outlook for PE deal activity in the second half of the year, in his latest piece for our blog. https://lnkd.in/eWtDqXmf #alternativeinvestments #privateequity #fundadministration

Despite the proliferation of powerful data analytics and advanced portfolio tools, many investment firms still rely on overburdened internal teams struggling to keep up with portfolio performance and #riskmanagement demands. The gap between available technology and practical application hinders their ability to gain timely insights. In an era defined by #generativeAI and #predictiveanalytics, #assetmanagers and #investors need more than basic spreadsheets or generic software to thrive. Kiski Group Inc.'s Kevin Becker returns this month with a guest post examining the role of an analytics partner. https://lnkd.in/g9_H9WPz #alternativeinvestments #hedgefunds #investmentmanagement

As with fund of funds, wealth management firms are the intermediaries between the end user investors and your firm. Unlike fund of funds, however, allocations from RIA wealth managers have the potential to be more sticky assets for the money manager. Of course, you will need to give these gatekeepers reason to see that putting their clients in your LP is more than just a performance chasing move. Frumerman & Nemeth CEO, Bruce Frumerman, offers five steps that your investment firm should take to build an action plan to make and maintain contact with investment advisor heads at wealth management firms in his blog post this month. https://lnkd.in/erpEHZ84 #assetraising #capitalraising #alternativeinvestments #hedgefunds
