Fundraising and LP relations

Fundraising has slowed, but continues to show signs of life. Fund manager Robeco recently launched Robeco Responsible Private Equity II (RRPE II), its "responsible" private equity fund-of-funds, with a EUR250m target.

While some are on the fundraising trail, others are dedicating time to cultivate their LP relations. Indeed, GPs have to look for ways to protect current investment capacities from defaulting investors while sowing these same relationships for future fundraisings. In the UK, Permira made news in December by offering limited partners a way out - but whether this move shows its flexibility or its attempt to make up for past wrong decisions remains a controversial question (see page 15).
