More capital is available for #privateequity execs launching 'independent' sponsor firms. The challenge with this strategy is the need to raise capital for each deal. Several firms have seen the opportunity to source capital into this strategy. A new one comes from Pacenote Capital, which has just closed its debut fund to back independent sponsor deals. The pool gives exposure to its LPs to directly invest alongside dealmakers in the lower mid-market. This strategy is likely to become more popular in the tough fundraising environment, as more new shops choose to stay fundless and get deals done, rather than face the brutality of the fundraising market.

We were proud to partner with SuperReturn North America this week, where Katya Gorbatiouk, Head of Investment Funds, London Stock Exchange spoke at the ‘Headwinds in fundraising: successfully attracting new capital in a period of market dislocation’ panel. Katya was joined by leaders from the #privateequity ecosystem including, Mrinalini Lhila, Thomas Capital Group, Agata Rzamek Praczuk, MetLife, Aaron Chan, Enlightened Hospitality Investments and Kee Tilghman Rabb, Apogem Capital. Since 1980’s, London’s listed closed-end fund market has been a pathway for #fundraising for private equity managers. London has a globally unique public market framework for listed funds that allows limitless allocation of portfolios to alternative assets. Leading private equity management groups have used our market to launch a permanent capital vehicle, that can scale on the public market by drawing additional institutional and retail capital, while fostering a longer-term alignment with investee companies.
