Services
Placement Agent
We act as exclusive placement agent for private market fund managers raising capital from institutional and private investors across Europe and the GCC.
Our independent positioning means we work for the fund manager, not for any distribution platform or bank, and we structure each mandate around the specific strategy, vintage and target investor base.
What we do
- First-time fund raises and subsequent vintages.
- Re-ups and capital extensions for existing platforms.
- Co-investment, sidecar and continuation vehicle placements.
- LP introductions across pensions, insurers, sovereign wealth, family offices and HNW investors.
- Investor materials and due diligence pack preparation.
- Roadshow planning and execution.
- Closing process management.
Who we work with
- Private equity managers — mid-market buyout, growth, venture.
- Private credit and direct lending managers.
- Infrastructure and energy transition managers.
- Real estate and real assets managers.
- Emerging managers and spin-out teams.
Our investor reach
We maintain active dialogue with institutional and private investors across the UK, Continental Europe, the GCC and selected emerging markets. Our investor mapping is strategy-specific — we identify the right LPs for each mandate rather than blanketing the market.
Why an independent placement agent
- We are not affiliated with any LP, prime broker or distribution platform.
- Compensation is aligned with successful close, not gross investor outreach.
- We provide candid, real-time feedback from the market — not curated highlights.
- We protect the GP's reputation by running a disciplined, confidential process.
