Marchmont Investment Management’s Post

Monarch Collective, a PE firm dedicated to women’s sports, raised over $200m, doubling its initial target of $100m.

The firm’s first investment was a minority stake in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)’s Boston expansion team, set to debut in 2026.

2023's market conditions required tenacity and creativity to succeed, and we're proud of the work our team did to make an impact throughout the year. Last year, we returned $661.1 million to investors, gave back to our communities with the new MiddleGround 501c3 Charitable Foundation, and deployed $786 million of fund capital! As our Founding and Managing Partner, John Stewart, said, “…a difficult market is NOT an excuse to underperform. There will always be down markets, and truly skilled professionals can show their true capability by succeeding in these times. I’m incredibly proud of my team. They thought outside the box, returned capital to our investors, were tenacious in deal sourcing, and maximized operational improvements throughout the year.” In 2023, we prioritized creating equity value for our investors, refining our leadership skills, and strengthening our operational offerings. These actions laid the groundwork for continued success. Read our 2023 Year in Review: https://bit.ly/4awid0b #privateequity #manufacturing

Such a pleasure to catch up with Sarah Clarke and Anika Randawa Scott of Rewire Partners to discuss trends, challenges and strategies for fundraising and investor relations in a persistantly tough environment. This interview is packed with pearls of wisdoms. Here are some of my favourites: 💎 "People talk about a flight to quality, however, it’s more of a flight to familiarity." 💎 "If you’ve just raised a fund, it makes a lot of sense to keep your fundraising hat on rather than rip it off, toss it in the corner and thank goodness you don’t have to go back to that for the next four years." 💎 "Firms leveraging advanced CRM systems, data analytics, and bespoke communication tools are better equipped to engage LPs continuously and meaningfully."  #privatemarkets #fundraising #investorrelations
